No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare two hypnotic interventions for Black women with advanced cancer pain in preparation for a well-powered phase III study. The investigators plan to enroll 30 adult Black women with advanced cancer pain in a 2-arm pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT).

The primary aim will be to evaluate the feasibility of conducting the 2-arm clinical trial. It is hypothesized that at least 75% of participants in both study arms will complete study requirements. The secondary aims will be to evaluate the participant's experience with the intervention and to determine the effect size of the intervention on pain severity.
