Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this protocol is to test the effect of hypnosis on laboratory dyspnea.
Detailed description
This is a study of permissive suggestion in two laboratory models of dyspnea (work/effort, air hunger). Breathing discomfort rating induced by laboratory models of dyspnea will be assessed before, during and after hypnosis.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Subject rating of Breathing Discomfort (affective component of dyspnea) | continuous measurement for 5 minutes | Subjects will rate breathing discomfort using a visual analog scale at baseline (pre-intervention), during the intervention (hypnosis/ visual distraction) and after intervention (recovery) while subject will be submitted to the laboratory model of dyspnea for 5 minutes (three runs of laboratory dyspnea (baseline, intervention and recovery). |
| Subject rating of dyspnea intensity (sensory component of dyspnea) | continuous measurement for 5 minutes | Subjects will rate dyspnea intensity using a visual analog scale at baseline (pre-intervention), during the intervention (hypnosis/ visual distraction) and after intervention (recovery) while subject will be submitted to the laboratory model of dyspnea for 5 minutes (three runs of laboratory dyspnea (baseline, intervention and recovery). |
