Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Chronic pain concernes one in four adults in Belgium. Because of the psychological and social repercussions, a biopsychosocial approach is necessary in order to improve the quality of life chronic pain patients. Non-pharmacological techniques such as hypnosis, self-care learning, music-therapy and psycho-education are gaining more and more interest in the scientific field. However, a major problem in clinical research is patient dropout. To our knowledge, no study has investigated dropout rates in hypnosis clinical research. The aim of this study is, therefore, to better understand the predictors of dropout in several non-pharmacological treatments in chronic pain management.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Self-hypnosis/self-care group

It is a 7-months 2 hours-session (1 session per month) of self-hypnosis/self-care learning. Participants are given strategies to learn self-care (knowing their needs, self-respect, communication etc.), each strategy is discussed for participant to understand them and thus apply them correctly in daily life. An hypnosis exercice is conducted at the end of each session. A CD with the audiotaped hypnosis exercice is given to each patient so that they can practice also every day.

Music/self-care

It is a 7-months 2 hours-session (1 session per month) of music/self-care learning. Participants are given strategies to learn self-care (knowing their needs, self-respect, communication etc.), each strategy is discussed for participant to understand them and thus apply them correctly in daily life. At the end of each session, patients are invited to listen to a relaxing melody of 15 minutes. This melody was composed by a professional musico-therapist. A CD with the audiotaped melody is given to each patient so that they can practice also every day.

Psycho-education

It is a 7-months 2 hours-session (1 session per month) of psycho-education training. Psycho-education aims to empower and encourage the patient to become an actor in his therapeutic management, while offering a comprehensive model of the mechanisms of pain, the benefits of pharmacological treatments at a physical and psychological level as well as ways to change the way one lives every day.
