DVD-Based Training Program in Self-Hypnosis for Children
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01483105
Purpose
The proposed study is designed to utilize a self-hypnosis DVD home-training program for
parents to use with their children to teach self-hypnosis techniques for inducing relaxation
and hypnotic analgesia. These relaxation techniques can be employed to manage anticipatory
anxiety, distress, and pain during an invasive medical procedure, for example, voiding
cystourethrography (VCUG). The study will examine the efficacy of this intervention for
children undergoing VCUG procedures.
