Summary

This study will measure the efficacy of hypnosis on pain after a major abdominal surgery. The aim is to further improve comfort and rehabilitation of patients after surgery, beyond the usual early recovery after surgery (ERAS) enhancement protocols.

Patients will be randomised (1:2) to the standard of care regarding pain management and rehabilitation, as part of the ERAS protocol, vs. ERAS + an additional hypnosis intervention. In this group, hospitalised patients are given 3 hypnosis sessions targeting analgesia between postoperative day 1 to 12.

The study will collect outcomes about pain and its burden, sleep quality, appetite, mobilisation and mood. Secondary outcomes also include use of pain medication and length of hospital stay.
