ROLE OF SELF HYPNOSIS IN HEPATITIS B VACCINATIONS W/ RESPECT TO DISTRESS

本研究的目的是：a）确定在接受B型肝炎疫苗接种的大群儿童中，自我催眠与预防痛苦的具体建议是否会减少痛苦;和B）确定具有增加免疫应答的特定暗示的自我催眠是否导致针对B型肝炎表面抗原的抗体的增加在接受B型肝炎疫苗接种的大队列儿童中，免疫后的（抗-HBs）水平。 我们招募了125名受试者。 90名受试者完成了整个干预并获得了报酬。 我们计划入组192例受试者。 另外32个项目已经安排，我们还没有确定其余35个项目。招募工作继续通过IRB批准的方法进行，包括向入组受试者分发小册子和其他方式。

The purposes of this investigation are to: a) determine if self hypnosis with a specific suggestion to prevent distress results in a reduction in distress in a large cohort of children undergoing hepatitis B vaccination; and b) determine if self hypnosis with a specific suggestion to increase immune response results in an increase in antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (Anti-HBs) levels following immunization in a large cohort of children undergoing hepatitis B vaccination. We have enrolled 125 subjects. Ninety subjects have completed the entire intervention and have received renumeration. We intend to enroll 192 subjects. Thirty-two more have been scheduled, and we have yet to identify the remaining 35 subjects. Recruitment efforts continue through IRB-approved methods including brochures distributed to enrolled subjects and other means.
