We assessed the feasibility of the COHErence Cardiaque (COHEC) programme where cardiac coherence and medical hypnosis are combined to manage preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing breast or gynaecological cancer surgical interventions (BGCSI).</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Patients undergoing BGCSI were enrolled and followed a daily home programme with cardiac coherence and medical hypnosis sessions, starting 7 days before the procedure. The primary endpoint was optimal patient adherence (i.e. completion of ≥14 sessions). Secondary endpoints were anxiety levels, measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS), satisfaction (EVAN-G), and quality of postoperative recovery (QoR-15).</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>In total, 53 patients [mean age: 55 (34–82) yr] were included; 83.7% had breast cancer and 15.1% had gynaecological cancer. Optimal adherence was achieved by 64.2% (95% confidence interval: 49.8–76.9%) of the intention-to-treat population. Among the 43 patients who completed at least one session, exploratory analysis showed that anxiety on the day before (<em>P</em>=0.02) and the morning of the intervention (<em>P</em>=0.04) was decreased in patients with severe anxiety at baseline (VAS ≥70). The median VAS satisfaction score for the programme was 10 (4–10). Overall, 94% of patients were willing to include the COHEC programme in their daily routine.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>The implementation of a psychoeducational programme combining cardiac coherence and medical hypnosis is feasible and might potentially help patients undergoing BGCSI to manage preoperative anxiety.
