Study summary

Description of the short and long-term impact of hypnosis sessions for patient having benefited from at least one hypnosis session in internal medicine at the french hospital "Groupe Hospitalier Mutualiste de Grenoble", with the help of a qualitative survey made by phone.

Read the detailed description

The practice of hypnosis has experienced a recent boom in medicine, with a multiplication of its fields of action. Regarding internal medicine, the influence of the psyche on the immune system makes the use of hypnosis particularly relevant for autoimmune diseases. Medically unexplained symptoms (another important field of internal medicine) are also strongly psychosomatic and thus susceptible to hypnosis. The hypothesis is thus made that hypnosis can bring multiple benefits to internal medicine patients.

The main objective of this study is to describe the short and long-term impact of hypnosis sessions for patient having benefited from at least one hypnosis session in internal medicine at the french hospital "Groupe Hospitalier Mutualiste de Grenoble", with the help of a qualitative survey made by phone.

Moreover retrospective medical data concerning these patients will be collected to determine their medical history, their main symptoms et reasons to use hypnosis.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Jun 2021; primary completion for Jul 2021, 1 month later.

Of 77 non-industry observational studies under Autoimmune Diseases, half reached primary completion within 121 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 41 and three quarters within 309. This study's planned 1 month is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 92 studies reached it within 121 months; a quarter within 41 and three quarters within 309.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 5, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
