关于我们
Comfort Talk? is an innovative, research based, drug-free method for front line providers to reduce patient pain and anxiety from the waiting room to the exam table. Healthcare professionals are trained in rapid rapport and “word choice” techniques that are complemented with hypnotic language. It is a no nonsense, straightforward approach to patient relaxation or sedation without the use of medication. Our training teaches practitioners how to start the patient engagement out on the fight foot. Not only does this reduce stress in the patient but in the practitioner as well. This leads to better outcomes for the patient and a happier and more efficient work environment. Comfort Talk? techniques were developed by Interventional Radiologist, Dr. Elvira Lang, over 25 years of rigorous research in clinical practice and experience in training healthcare professionals. These methods were tested in over 130,000 patient encounters. We are continuously refining and improving our methods and materials through feedback and clinical trials.

The ComfortTalk? Pro app is a great option! Here’s a link if you’re curious: https://lnkd.in/gGgpbYMr
A visit to the #dentist doesn’t have to be #scary. Did you know that 60-80% of people experience some level of #anxiety about dental visits? A lot of this comes down to how we interpret the experience. For my semi-annual tooth cleaning, I choose to see it as "me-time"—almost like a mini spa treatment. After all, it’s all about keeping my smile healthy and letting me enjoy life’s flavors! Now, if it were a root canal... I’d probably take along our #ComfortTalk? Pro app. I’ve personally included suggestions in the app to help restore rapid comfort and ease in moments like these. How do you handle your dental visits? #DentalHealth #SelfCare #StressManagement #WellnessTips

Elvira Lang, MD, FSIR, FSCEH’s work on?Methodological Challenges in Randomized Controlled Trials of mHealth Interventions: Cross-Sectional Survey Study and Consensus-Based Recommendations?has been published! The insights gained through the development, release, and rigorous testing of the Comfort Talk??Pro app, along with the publication of findings on methodological challenges in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), were instrumental in shaping these new consensus-based recommendations. “It was an honor to collaborate with a distinguished group of experts in the field to explore how studies on mobile health (mHealth) apps can better identify what works and what doesn’t.” – Dr. Lang-Anderson Learn more about the paper: https://lnkd.in/encHh3YJ Learn more about our app: https://lnkd.in/gGgpbYMr #comforttalk #healthcare #painmanagement

It was a great experience working with these experts on the recommendations for health apps in this paper. We learned so much ourselves when building our Comfort Talk? Pro app, which fortunately still exceeds all the standard requirements.
I had the great opportunity to be a member of an international team publishing the article "Methodological Challenges in Randomized Controlled Trials of mHealth Interventions: Cross-Sectional Survey Study and Consensus-Based Recommendations," in the prestigious Journal of Medical Internet Research. https://lnkd.in/dragW88q Key findings include: Intervention Integrity: Ensuring that mHealth interventions are implemented as intended poses unique challenges compared to non-mHealth interventions. Adherence Measurement: Assessing participant adherence to mHealth interventions lacks standardized methods, complicating the evaluation of intervention effectiveness. Complexity of Behavioral Interventions: mHealth interventions often involve complex behavioral components that are more difficult to define and standardize than pharmacological treatments. The paper provides consensus-based recommendations to address these challenges, aiming to enhance the reliability of mHealth RCTs and improve assessments of their effects on health outcomes. My special thanks go to Jesus Lopez Alcalde who formed the team, started the project, and continued it tirelessly to the point of this paper publication.

In a study looking at the cost of adjunct hypnosis with sedation during outpatient interventional radiologic procedures versus costs with standard sedation, Elvira Lang, MD, FSIR, FSCEH found that the outcome shows adjunct hypnosis had a savings of $338 per case. With the use of techniques that Comfort Talk? provides, it can help cut costs of procedures!

Can't have Turkey Day without turkeys! We are so grateful to have the opportunity to share Comfort Talk and help improve the lives of many patients and staff!
This is the day to be grateful for being privileged by fate to live in peace, have food and a home, and most of all, have others to love and be loved by. I am sure my visiting wild turkeys are also grateful for not being on a Thanksgiving plate and being able to pick away at the last volunteer cherry tomatoes in the rose bed and dig out my potatoes during their dirt bath.
