Summary

Hematology patients are frequently treated in hospital for aplasia. Patients are then placed in protective isolation room. This situation of protective isolation can represent a significant source of stress and anxiety for the patient. Hypnosis is already used to treat anxiety in patients with cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of virtual reality medical hypnosis sessions on anxiety and chronic pain of patients hospitalized for aplasia in order to broaden the supportive care proposals in the clinical hematology service of Sévigné Private Hospital.
