Complementary psychological care is recommended for COPD, as it significantly reduces anxiety and boosts the pulmonary rehabilitation efficacy. In a precedent trial (HYPNOBPCO_1, ISRCTN10029862), administering a single hypnosis session was linked to reduced anxiety and improved breathing mechanics in intermediate and advanced COPD patients. However, whether hypnosis could improve self-management of anxiety and dyspnoea in COPD during pulmonary rehabilitation is yet to be investigated.

- Excessive sleepiness is prevalent in adults with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), significantly impacting their quality of life, with 67% of patients reporting this symptom.
- The study involved clinical evaluations and sleep tests on 60 adults with genetically confirmed PWS, revealing a range of sleep disorders: 43% had unrecognized hypersomnia, 15% had isolated breathing issues, and only 30% had normal sleep patterns.
- Improving the early diagnosis and treatment of these sleep disorders may lead to better outcomes in sleepiness, cognition, and behavior for individuals with PWS.
