Effect of a Self-hypnosis on Attention Disorders and Anxiety in Children With Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

"The Hypnotidoo application offers screenless self-hypnosis sessions for 5-12 year olds. Each session lasts 6 to 8 minutes and focuses on one of the following themes: stress and anxiety, sleep, daily troubles and discomforts, hypersensitivity, hyperactivity and difficulty concentrating, self-confidence, difficult life events, anger. Each session begins with breathing and refocusing work, followed by self-hypnosis through stories and metaphors suitable for children.~The application will be used by patients in the context of research for 6 weeks, 5 days out of 7 in parallel with the usual treatment."

"Before and after (at T0, T1, T2 and T3) the 6-week period of use of the application and a wash-out period of 2 weeks (= usual treatment only), self- and hetero-questionnaires which constitute the gold standard for evaluating the symptoms of inattention and anxiety are proposed: Conners III, Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and Revised-Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (R-CMAS).~* T0: inclusion~* T1: 6 weeks after T0 (inclusion)~* T2: 2 weeks after T1~* T3: 6 weeks after T2"
