Brief Summary

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. To date, no clinical trials have been carried out to demonstrate its effectiveness in this pathology. The HypERR study is a multicenter, randomized, open-label study designed to evaluate the efficacy of a hypotherapy method called E2R in the management of chronic insomnia, by comparing it with standard care (without hypnosis).
