ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how hypnosis can help patients undergoing treatment for periodontal disease, which is a serious gum infection. Periodontal treatment often involves cleaning the teeth and gums to remove harmful bacteria, but many people feel anxious or afraid about dental procedures. The researchers want to find out if using hypnosis can reduce this anxiety and improve healing by measuring certain chemicals in the saliva that indicate inflammation and recovery.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 20 and 65 years old and have chronic periodontal disease, but you should not have any other serious health conditions. If you join the trial, you will receive periodontal treatment, and some participants will also experience hypnosis sessions to see if it helps with pain and anxiety during the process. This study is currently recruiting participants of all genders, and it could be a valuable opportunity to improve your dental experience while contributing to important research.
