Brief Summary

Patients with chronic diseases, especially rare diseases with uncertain diagnoses, have a representation of their disease and an experience of their hospitalization that is sometimes traumatic, distressing and painful. Patients hospitalized can benefit from non-medicinal techniques, such as medical hypnosis, which could improve the perceived stress in these patients and thus optimize the hospitalization experience. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of medical hypnosis in reducing stress and improving the experience of hospitalization comparing two groups : a group (cases) benefiting from an hypnotic technic " the place of safety " and a control group without intervention during hospitalization
