Summary

Chronic pain concernes one in four adults in Belgium. Because of the psychological and social repercussions, a biopsychosocial approach is necessary in order to improve the quality of life of people suffering from chronic pain. Non-pharmacological techniques such as hypnosis, self-care learning, music-therapy and psycho-education are gaining more and more interest in the scientific field. Indeed, several studies have shown a reduction in psychological distress and an improvement in global quality of life after having learned self-hypnosis/self-care. Furthermore, other studies focusing on music as a treatment for chronic pain highlight an analgesic effect of music over pain and a reduction of common comorbidities. Nevertheless, only few studies aim at comparing these techniques to each other. The aim of our study would be to compare a 7 months learning program of self-hypnosis/self-care, music-therapy/self-care, motivation to learn self-hypnosis/self-care and self-care alone in order to highlight the most efficient treatment for chronic pain.
