Cultivating Comfort: Examining Participant Satisfaction with Hypnotic Communication Training in Pain Management.

Context: One in four Canadians experiences chronic pain, yet insufficient services and restrictions surrounding prevailing treatments result in inadequate management and significant negative consequences for these individuals. Previous work indicates that hypnotic communication represents a promising complementary treatment; however, training protocols for healthcare professionals are underdeveloped and understudied.

Aim: To evaluate the level of satisfaction for a training program on hypnotic communication in pain management clinics.
