Study Summary
The primary aim is to develop and test the feasibility of a standardized digital audio home-hypnotherapy (HHT) program for patients with refractory functional chest pain (FCP). The secondary aims of this study are: 1. To obtain pilot data to assess the magnitude of the treatment effect of self-hypnosis in refractory FCP for an anticipated future, larger treatment trial; 2. To determine the stability of the treatment effect of HHT in refractory FCP; 3. To assess the relationship between response to HHT and psychological factors; and 4. To assess the relationship between response to HHT and symptomatic dimensions of chest pain (severity, frequency, and duration). 5. To assess the difference
Primary Outcome
To fulfill Rome III recommendations for the design of treatment trials for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGIDS),47 we will use a 7-point Likert scale to assess for global change in chest pain.

The following answers will be given as options: "much better" (+3), "somewhat better" (+2), "minimally better" (+1), "no change" (0), "minimally w
