ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial, taking place at the University Hospital Basel, is studying how structured hypnotherapy can improve the quality of life for women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. The trial involves two groups: one group will receive 10 sessions of hypnotherapy along with their usual cancer treatment, while the other group will only receive the standard treatment without any additional therapy. Researchers want to see if the women who have hypnotherapy feel better overall, experience fewer side effects from chemotherapy, and have less anxiety and depression.
To participate in this trial, women must be at least 18 years old, diagnosed with primary breast cancer, and currently receiving chemotherapy. However, those with certain psychological disorders or cognitive issues that might interfere with the study will not be eligible. Participants can expect no risks from the hypnotherapy sessions, and if the study shows positive results, this treatment could be included in future care for breast cancer patients.
