Hypnosis support for anxiety during face surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether guided hypnosis can improve how people feel about having face surgery performed with numbing medicine (local anesthesia). If you’re experiencing significant anxiety beforehand, hypnosis support may help you feel more comfortable during your outpatient procedure.
