This study tests whether guided self-hypnosis—either by using a “mental anchor” or by a more conversational style—can reduce stress or discomfort during a breast macrobiopsy. It may help patients feel calmer during the procedure.
This study tests a new real-time healthcare system meant to improve how doctors find and monitor colon cancer risk during colonoscopy. You might be able to take part if you are scheduled for a non-emergency colonoscopy and meet other safety and medical criteria.
This trial tests if listening to a hypnosis recording during a 4D CT scan can reduce image artifacts, making the scan more accurate for lung cancer patients getting stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). It may help patients who are new to hypnosis and have a peripheral or central lung lesion.
This study looks at patterns of colorectal (colon and rectum) findings in people who are having a colonoscopy as part of routine care. It may help improve how doctors detect and understand colorectal cancer and related growths over time.
This study tests whether hypnosis (guided relaxation) can help patients feel more comfortable and less anxious during a heart ultrasound procedure that looks at the heart from inside the throat. The goal is to see if it reduces discomfort and the need for sedating medications.
This Phase 2 study tests whether medical hypnosis can help people feel less anxious while they receive radiation treatment for cancer. It targets adults who have moderate to very high anxiety right after treatment planning.
