Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Recorded Hypnosis Intervention

The RHI consists of four digital recordings developed by the investigator using standardized hypnosis scripts for pain reduction and uploaded to a MP3 player. The scripts were developed for patients with chronic pain and tested by a psychologist who is an expert in hypnosis research. Participants will listen to the recordings daily for 28 days in the prescribed order (4 recordings for 3 days each, and then any recording for the remaining 16 days). The script includes an induction, suggestions for how to access inner resources and manage pain, and post-hypnotic suggestions for permanence of hypnosis benefits and self-hypnosis practice.

BEHAVIORAL

Recorded Relaxation Intervention

The recorded relaxation intervention consists of four digital recordings developed by the investigator using standardized relaxation scripts and uploaded to a MP3 player. Participants will listen to the recordings daily for 28 days in the prescribed order (4 recordings for 3 days each, and then any recording for the remaining 16 days).
