The control and experimental groups respond in 3 different moments to Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for the evaluation of pain, and to Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to evaluate depression and the anxiety. The first meeting will be made before the hypnosis. In the second meeting, within an interval of 7 days, the scales will be applied in all patients. Before applying the scales, the hypnosis group will be submitted to the session. The third meeting will occur two weeks later, where the scales will be only applied to compare the groups.
