Clinical Hypnosis and Home Blood Pressure Monitoring in Children With Neurofibromatosis Type 1

This study has two primary objectives. The first is to determine if it is feasible and reliable for children and families with a diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) to use of blood pressure (BP) monitor at home. The second is to determine if there is a difference between a child\'s measured home BP using standard instructions or using a clinical hypnosis script. This will be determined by a randomised control trial design. Standard and hypnosis Home BP will be compared to the gold standard measurement of BP measured by a trained health care professional in clinic. Children who participate will complete a clinic-based BP with a health care professional, then will be randomised into either the standard home BP measurement or using a hypnosis script prior to BP measurement.
