Abstract
Hypnosis is not normally accessible to patients living in remote areas We conducted a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of providing hypnosis via videoconferencing using ISDN at 384 kbit s Eleven of 15 patients invited to do so took part Ten of the 11 stated that they were satisfied with the video hypnosis session and all indicated that they would like to have further video hypnosis sessions in the future Sound quality and image quality were acceptable during nearly all sessions in spite of some interference as a result of technical problems and weather conditions The results suggest that hypnosis can be provided successfully via videoconferencing
