Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Hypnoanaesthesia  Hypnotherapy or trance-induction is a well-documented technique of intentionally inducing an altered conscious state where increased acceptability of verbal suggestions has been noted, along with a profound reduction of stress and anxiety. This can be used to alter perception of sensations including pain. This can be helpful for reduction of anxiety, as well as the perception of the needle prick, burning sensation of local anaesthetic agent, and residual sensations despite use of local anaesthetic agent. It has been used by small groups of surgeons, since 1946, by itself and as an adjunct for a host of surgical procedures including those otherwise requiring general aanesthesia. Post-hypnotic suggestions can be used to have effects which continue after the trance and can be used to modify perception of post-operative pain. Magic glove technique will be used to deliver hypnoanesthesia and it will be performed once before the procedure 
Comparator Agent  Standard infiltartion anaesthesia  Injection of local anaesthetic agent without hypnoanaesthesia 
 
Inclusion Criteria

Gender  Both 
Details  1. Children 6 to 13 years of age undergoing minor procedures in the Dermatology Minor Operation theatre complex.
2. Can understand English or Hindi well
3. Can follow verbal suggestions for modulating breathing rate, contracting or relaxing muscles.
4. Patients agreeing to have their vitals monitored before, during and at end of procedure.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To assess the percentage difference in mean VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) score of perceived pain of local anaesthetic injection between children receiving additional hypnoanaesthesia in combination with standard infiltration anaesthetic technique versus those receiving standard infiltration anaesthetic technique alone during minor dermatosurgical procedures  Just after the injection of local anaesthetic agent 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To assess the percentage difference in mean VAS score of perceived pain   During & after the surgery 
To assess the percentage reduction in VAS score of anxiety before & immediately after the hypnoanaesthesia in the intervention arm.  Before & immediately after the hypnoanaesthesia 
To evaluate the changes in respiratory rate, heart rate & blood pressure before & immediately after the administration of hypnoanaesthesia.  before & immediately after the administration of hypnoanaesthesia 
To assess the percentage difference in mean VAS score of post-operative pain at the end of 1 week between the control & intervention group  Day 7 
To assess the percentage difference in mean VAS score of anxiety in parents during the surgical procedure of their child  During the surgical procedure
