About this study

The prostatic biopsies echo-guided are a painful and stressful. The purpose is to test a new medical device created recently, " Hypnos-Pro ", wich uses connected technologies. This connected device is a mask with diodes coupled with an audio headset and a touch pad. This connected mask is an another option to induce an hypnotic state for our patients. the objective is to value hypnotic mask effectiveness, to reduce the level pain and anxiety for the patients who benefit a prostatic biopsies echo-guided with local anesthesia.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Periprostatic nerve blockProcedure or surgery

    4 injections of 2 cc of lidocaine for a Periprostatic nerve block

  • hypnosis maskDevice

    The mask HYPNOS pro stimulates the imagination of the user by means of 6 diodes among 3 by eye.

    Just before the introduction of ultrasound probe, the patient put the hypnotic mask and choose a session.Twenty minutes after the removal of the probe, an healthworker assess the painful patient with the visual analogue scale VAS, after this the patient fulfill the STATE- TRAIT Anxiety Inventory (STAI) form Y-A.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Visual analogic Scale

    Measure the pain in the scale from 0 to 10

    Measured: at 20 minutes after the removal of the probe

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory ou STAI forme Y-A

    Measured: Baseline, at 20 minutes after the removal of the probe

  2. Percentage of positive response of satisfaction of the patient

    The question is: Would you do prostate biopsy punctures under the same conditions in a month? (Yes: effective method, No: ineffective method).

    Measured: at 20 minutes after the removal of the probe

  3. Percentage of positive response of satisfaction of the operator

    The question is: In your opinion, has the gesture been made optimally? (Yes/ No).

    Measured: at 20 minutes after the removal of the probe
