In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

In France, the treatment of chronic insomnia relies mainly on hypnotic drugs in routine care, despite the high level of iatrogenicity. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is recommended by the HAS as a non-pharmaceutical first-line therapy for chronic insomnia. Despite evidence of their efficacy in chronic insomnia, these therapies remain underdeveloped in France (few practitioners, time-consuming for the patient). Hypnotherapy is another non-drug intervention suitable for routine outpatient care. Among the hypnosis methods practiced in France, E2R (Emotion, Regression, Repair) is a hypnotherapy method used in general practice, particularly for chronic insomnia.
