Contribution of Learning and Practice of Different Complementary Therapies in Pulmonary Transplant Patients (TOOLBOX)

November 3, 2020 updated by: Hopital Foch
The aim of the study is to evaluate, 3 months after lung transplantation, integration and appropriation by the patient of complementary techniques (" Toolbox " included relaxation, autohypnosis, relaxation therapy, TENS (if pain) and holistic gymnastics to improve the comfort and the quality of life in very high-technology care pathway

Detailed Description

Patients approaching a lung transplant will face specific infectious, immunological, ventilatory and hemodynamic problems but also to painful, stressful and anxiety-provoking situations. Learning different complementary therapies in the pre-transplant period allows patients to have personal tools to improve their comfort before and after the transplant. These tools can be used by patients who have acute or chronic pain symptoms, to support painful examination or care, and for situations of stress and anxiety.

The project aims to present different therapies complementary to patients. Before and after transplant, patients benefits of learning and realization sessions of these techniques. They appropriate the techniques and choose the ones that suit best.

The overall benefit will be judged comparing period before transplant to period after transplant on different criteria.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of sessions of complementary techniques
Time Frame: 3 months
Number of sessions of complementary techniques practiced by the patient alone and by the patient with an investigator of the team.
3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Implication and satisfaction degree measured by Visual Analogical Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: 3 months
Implication and satisfaction of the patient regarding the different techniques. Investment, autonomy, conformity to instructions, adaptation to different situation and use of the different techniques are evaluated by the patient and by the investigators using 5 Visual Analogical Scales (VAS)
3 months
Efficacy of complementary techniques on the pain felt.
Time Frame: 3 months

Evaluate the efficacy of the "toolbox" on presence, intensity, location, type of pain 3 months after transplant by VAS, questionnaire DN4 and Kehlet's questionnaire.

3 VAS to measures the intensity of pain on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain), and 1 question to locate the pain.

DN4 to identify neuropatic pain: 4 questions to answer by "yes" or "no". "yes" = 1 point, "no" = 0 point. Total score ≥ 4/10 = positive test.

Kehlet's questionnaire to evaluate the impact of pain on activities.

3 months
Efficacy of complementary techniques on anxiety and depression level
Time Frame: 3 months
Evaluate the efficacy of the "toolbox" on anxiety and depression level 3 months after transplant by Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale. 14 items rated from 0 to 3. Seven questions relate to anxiety and seven others to the depression. Two scores (maximum of each score = 21).
3 months
Efficacy of complementary techniques on stress level
Time Frame: 3 months

Evaluate the efficacy of the "toolbox" on stress level 3 months after transplant by Perceived Stress Scale. 10 items rated from 0 to 5.

Total score < 21 = someone who knows how to manage stress. Total score between 21 and 26 = someone who usually knows how to manage stress, except in certain situations.

Total score > 27 = someone who don't knows how to manage stress.

3 months
Efficacy of complementary techniques on sleep quality
Time Frame: 3 months

Evaluate the efficacy of the "toolbox" on sleep quality 3 months after transplant by Spiegel sleep score. 6 items rated from 0 to 5.

More the score is lower, more the sleep disorders is serious.

3 months
Efficacy of complementary techniques on quality of life
Time Frame: 3 months

Evaluate the efficacy of the "toolbox" on quality of life 3 months after transplant by questionnaire Quality of life EuroQol - 5 Dimension (EQ5D) and the EuroQol Visual Analogue scale (EQ VAS) .

EQ5D: 5 dimensions. Each dimension has 3 levels: no problems, some problems, extreme problems.

EQ VAS: records the respondent's self-rated health on a 20 cm vertical, visual analogue scale with endpoints labelled 'the best health you can imagine' and 'the worst health you can imagine'.
