Study summary

Monocenter, prospective, randomized, parallel group study (1:1) evaluating the efficacy of self-hypnosis performed by mask on pain and anxiety in patients receiving botulinum toxin injections in the treatment of idiopathic overactive bladder refractory to conventional pharmacological treatment.

Patients will be randomized into two groups before injection:

  • Group 1: conventional anesthesia
  • Group 2: conventional anesthesia and use of the self-hypnosis mask

At the end of the procedure, the patient will express the pain felt thanks to the VAS (Visual Analog Scale) and will answer a questionnaire of anxiety (STATE-TRAIT Anxiety Inventory).

Read the detailed description

Day 0: 1st consultation for overactive bladder refractory to drug treatment: verification of inclusion and non-inclusion criteria. Proposal of the study to the patient and handing over of the information note relating to the study.

D15: Collection of consent and randomisation - execution of the procedure

Botulinum toxin injection procedure

Control arm: conventional anaesthesia The botulinum toxin injection procedure will be carried out in a standard manner, according to French guidances, and after local anaesthesia as specified below.

For the procedure, the patient will be hospitalised in a urological day hospital. She must have a sterile cytobacteriological exam of urine 10 days before the procedure or be on antibiotics, and must not have any coagulation problems.

A local anaesthetic is given 30 minutes before the procedure according national guidances.

Experimental arm: conventional anaesthesia and use of the self-hypnosis mask

Same procedure as described for the control arm with the addition of the self-hypnosis mask during the procedure:

The mask and the headphones are positioned and activated 10 minutes before the procedure, with the program "travel to India" chosen because it was developed for pain management and of a duration compatible with the procedure (25 minutes).

A short presentation acting as a pre-hypnotic speech can introduce the use of the mask on a patient in order to orientate the effects in the desired goal (analgesia, relaxation, etc.).

After connecting the mask to the mobile application, the caregiver will set the appropriate program for the treatment, place the mask over the patient's closed eyes, place the headphones over the patient's ears as well and start the session in question.

Following the procedure, monitoring in the day hospital and evaluation at 30 minutes of the procedure by a trained nurse, of the pain felt during the insertion of the cystoscope and during the injections by VAS.

Completion of the STATE-TRAIT Anxiety Inventory test.

D45: Regular monitoring consultation with evaluation of treatment effectiveness. Collection of data concerning complications (haematuria, urine retention and urinary tract infection). Discharge from the study.

Study arms

  • No intervention
    control arm

    conventional anaesthesia The botulinum toxin injection procedure will be carried out in the standard way, according to the recommendations applicable in France, and after local anaesthesia.

  • Experimental
    interventional arm

    conventional anaethesia and use of the self-hypnosis mask The mask and the helmet are positioned and activated 10 minutes before the procedure, with the "travel to india" programme chosen because it was developed for pain management and its duration is compatible with the procedure (25 minutes).

    Device: HyPNOS self-hypnosis mask from DREAMINZZ

Interventions

  • DeviceHyPNOS self-hypnosis mask from DREAMINZZ

    The use of the HyPNOS self-hypnosis mask from DREAMINZZ allows patients to immerse themselves in a state of self-hypnosis. A Hypnos session is a narrative accompanied by spatialized sounds (3D) and ambiance for an immersive experience. We aim to evaluate the use of the HyPNOS mask in the management of pain and anxiety in botulinum toxin injections
