“Hypnosis” will consist of the CHB's conventional 4-week group PRP, supplemented by 2 educational sessions for teaching self-hypnosis. Clusters of COPD patients eligible to the conventional hospital-based PRP at the Centre Hospitalier de Bligny (CHB), will be randomised and evenly allocated into two parallel arms: “Hypnosis” (treatment) and “Relaxation” (active control). Its aim is to assess the efficacy of hypnosis as a tool to manage anxiety and dyspnea during a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program (PRP). This is the protocol for HYPNOBPCO_2, a 2-arm, cluster-randomised, statistician-blinded superiority monocenter trial ( NCT04868357 ). However, whether hypnosis could improve self-management of anxiety and dyspnea in COPD during pulmonary rehabilitation is yet to be investigated. 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. Complementary psychological care is recommended for COPD, as it significantly reduces anxiety, and boosts the pulmonary rehabilitation efficacy.
