Brief Summary

The threat of premature birth (MAP) is the leading cause of hospitalization during pregnancy complicated by preterm delivery in 5-10% of cases in developed countries. Psychological stress that encompasses anxiety and anxiety resounding including sleep quality can be a work of preacher and premature delivery. Preterm birth before 37 has an impact on the survival and health of the newborn. It is the leading cause of mortality and obstetric complications. It has a cost both for the newborn, the term parturient health but also the financial cost by the management before delivery and the consequences of a premature birth. The usual management of MAP is hospitalized with tocolysis, monitoring and rest. The hospitalization and invasive procedures contribute to increasing stress. It therefore seems necessary to seek to diversify and master reputable techniques for their effectiveness on mastering stress and improving sleep quality as hypnosis and feel relaxing. Hypnosis in obstetrics is used primarily to control pain, nausea and postpartum depression. It also reduces preoperative anxiety and during induction of anesthesia, as well as behavioral disorders during the first postoperative week. Hypnosis can play an important role in the prevention of preterm birth. In a non-randomized study, hypnosis combined with drug therapy has prolonged pregnancy of patients followed in high risk pregnancy. The relaxing touch brings relaxation and well being. In obstetrics, it has an influence on the anti-stress hormones and plays a role in reducing pain during childbirth. Few studies interested in hypnosis and relaxation therapies in pregnant women, especially in case of MAP. The published data relate to a small number of patients and a low level of evidence. Although there seems promising results, prospective studies are needed to conclude its effectiveness in improving the stress, pain or other parameters. Health workers trained in these techniques could observe during their production improved sleep disorders, stress, better communication between doctor and patient. Moreover, these treatments could induce an improvement in the overall care of patients, and therefore have an impact on the continuation of pregnancy. These findings are based on these hypothesis. There is a clinical gain the contribution of hypnosis and relaxing touch in women hospitalized for MAP before 32 weeks of gestation. This would, among other improvements in sleep disorders and stress, decrease pain, and acting on the extension of the term of pregnancy in women followed by these techniques and a decrease in hospitalizations of newborns premature neonatology and neonatal intensive care units.
