Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a randomized controlled trial that plans to enroll 50 adults with chronic low back pain. Participants will be in the study for 8 weeks and the study aim is to test different combinations hypnosis audio recordings to see which recordings participants like the best and lead to greatest reductions in pain. The investigators hope to develop a mobile app using participants' feedback to make hypnosis treatment for chronic pain more widely available. The investigators plan to develop and commercialize this app through HypnoScientific Inc., a company that is co-owned by the investigators. Participants will complete brief (15-20min) surveys that ask about pain and mental health at three timepoints: Baseline (week 0), 4 weeks, and 8 weeks.

Clinical Trial Description

Pain is a major public health problem that affects over 100 million adults in the United States. While pain can have profound negative impacts, current treatment remains inadequate. A focus on opioid treatments has led to over-prescription, harmful side effects, and the overuse crisis. To address this problem, the study investigators, and others, have developed and adapted hypnosis to empower individuals to self-manage pain. Findings from the investigators' research supports hypnosis as an effective non-pharmacological technique. However, a significant limitation of hypnosis treatment is access, given that hypnosis treatment is provided by a very limited number of clinicians with training in its use, as well as the significant costs of in-person treatment. The main goal of this study is to pilot test the efficacy of hypnosis content for pain management as provided via recordings. ;
