Clinical research:
A medical device with clinically proven effectiveness

Four clinical trials focusing on the use of HypnoVR software have been presented at national and international medical conferences.

Pediatric surgery: postoperative

Influence d’un accompagnement hypnotique par la réalité virtuelle sur la stratégie anesthésique chez l’enfant opéré d’une chirurgie pour pose ou dépose de chambre implantable en ambulatoire : étude rétrospective
[Effect of virtual reality hypnosis on the anesthetic strategy in children undergoing outpatient surgery to insert or remove an implantable port: a retrospective study]
AUTHORS: T. Arat, MD; AS. Guilbert, MD; C. Chauvin; N. Tuzin; I. Talon; P. Diemunsch

Presented in 2019 at the French Society of Anesthesia & Intensive Care Medicine (SFAR) Annual Congress and at the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida. This study highlighted the benefits of using HypnoVR as an adjunct for local anesthesia when inserting and removing an implantable port in children—a procedure traditionally performed under general anesthetic.

3x shorter postoperative hospital stay

Obstetrics & gynecology

Étude pilote pour l’utilisation de l’hypnose en réalité virtuelle lors de ponctions ovocytaires
[Pilot study for the use of virtual reality hypnosis during puncture for oocyte retrieval]
AUTHORS: G. Vinee, V. Faitot, C. Chauvin, D. Graff, P. Diemunsch

Presented at the Journée Francophone de l’Hypnose in 2019, this study demonstrated the benefits of the HypnoVR device when used during oocyte retrieval for medically assisted reproduction.

Increase in comfort:
89.5%
Satisfaction rate:

Dental surgery: perioperative

Protocole de réalité virtuelle pour la prise en charge du patient anxieux : applications cliniques et résultats d’une étude pilote menée à l’Unité Fonctionnelle d’Odontologie Pédiatrique de Strasbourg
[Virtual reality protocol for the treatment of patients suffering from anxiety: clinical applications and results of a pilot study conducted at the Pediatric Dentistry Department of the University Hospitals of Strasbourg]
AUTHORS: F. Clauss, L. Bertagnolio, S. Jung, M. Strub, P. Sadonès, C. Chauvin, M-C. Manière

Presented at the national conference of the French Society of Pediatric Dentistry (SFOP) in 2018, this study focused on the use of HypnoVR to reduce anxiety during dental surgery.

Perioperative anxiety score:
45% lower
Satisfaction rate:
8/10

Pediatric surgery: postoperative

Influence d’un accompagnement hypnotique par réalité virtuelle sur la douleur et la consommation postopératoire de morphiniques chez l’enfant après chirurgie de la scoliose: étude rétrospective [Effect of virtual reality hypnosis on postoperative pain and morphine consumption after surgery for scoliosis: a retrospective evaluation in children]
AUTHORS: AS. Guilbert, MD; C. Chauvin, MD; C. De Melo, MD; A. Giraud, MD; P. Diemunsch, MD PhD; E. Noll, MD

Presented in 2018 at the French Society of Anesthesia & Intensive Care Medicine (SFAR) Annual Congress and at the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Annual Meeting in San Francisco, this study highlighted the benefits of using one HypnoVR session per day to treat postoperative pain.

Pain (VAS)
40% lower
Opioid use
45% lower
Anxiolytic use
2.7x less
Faster recovery time
21 hours faster
