Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Nowadays, researchers are interested in finding out the beneficial effects of non-pharmacological techniques to improve de well-being of patients with chronic pain. Hypnosis is one of these techniques that has already proven to be successful in decreasing pain and improving global quality of life. Nevertheless, to our knowledge, no study has been conducted to understand the impact of hypnosis upon the cerebral functioning of these patients. Therefore, the aim of this study is to understand the impact of a 6 months self-hypnosis/self-care learning program upon the structural and functional functioning of the brain by means of functional magnetic resonance imagery (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG).

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 exercise is conducted at the end of each session. A CD with the audiotaped hypnosis exercise is given to each patient so that they can practice also every day.
