Brief summary
Patients benefitting from a lung transplantation are subject to long-lasting and often severe post-operative pain. Self-hypnosis has been proven effective in the management of acute pain. The study hypothesis is that pre-operative training in self-hypnosis given to patients awaiting lung transplantation, will result in a reduction of post-operative pain one month after surgery.
Interventions
Patients will be trained to self-hypnosis prior to surgery, in order to be able to use self-hypnosis as a pain-management tool after surgery
Post-operative pain management treatments as per usual protocols in the hospital
