Psychological Bulletin, 2003
Hypnosis has been demonstrated to reduce analogue pain, and studies on the mechanisms of laboratory pain reduction have provided useful applications to clinical populations. Studies showing central nervous system activity during hypnotic procedures offer preliminary information concerning possible physiological mechanisms of hypnotic analgesia. Randomized controlled studies with clinical populations indicate that hypnosis has a reliable and significant impact on acute procedural pain and chronic pain conditions. Methodological issues of this body of research are discussed, as are methods to better integrate hypnosis into comprehensive pain treatment.
Clinical hypnosis for chronic pain in adults
Protocols, 2013
Hypnosis interventions consistently produce significant decreases in pain associated with a variety of chronic-pain problems [1], while neurophysiological studies have shown that specific hypnotic suggestions have clear effects on the brain and spinal cord functioning [2, 3]. Thus, it is useful for clinicians who practise hypnotherapy to understand pain paradigms.
Hypnosis for Clinical Pain Management: A Scoping Review of Systematic Reviews
OBM Integrative and Complementary Medicine
There is a growing body of research evaluating the effects of hypnosis for the management of clinical pain. A summary of the recent systematic review would help understand the quality of evidence regarding the efficacy of hypnosis, and provide directions for future research. We conducted a scoping review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the efficacy of hypnosis for management of clinical pain conditions published after 2013. We searched four databases and two reviewers independently screened studies. We extracted information regarding efficacy of hypnosis, quality of trials reviewed, and author's conclusions from the included reviews. We included 13 systematic reviews or meta-analyses that synthesized results from 77 unique clinical trials published from 1841 to 2017. There
Pain is a common component of many medical conditions and has been defined as more than purely physical sensations. While some research has claimed hypnosis to be effective for inclusion within pain-management treatment regimes, a recent Cochrane review has suggested that many of the trials are inadequate. The aim of this paper is to clarify the existing views in relation to the usefulness of hypnosis in pain management. • Hypnosis has been suggested to be effective in managing pain, especially for labour and needle-related procedures • Mechanism of hypnotic pain control is different to endogenous opioid production • Quality research is needed
Hypnosis for Chronic Pain Management
2011
Recent psychophysiological data supports the concept that hypnotic interventions for pain management are beneficial. The aim of this study was to evaluate pain relief induced through hypnosis in two chronic pain conditions: fibromyalgia (FM) and chronic migraine (CM). Participants were treated during 5 weekly hypnosis sessions, each lasting 60 minutes. A battery of self-reported questionnaires assessing quality of life, pain intensity, and depression levels were administered at the beginning and at the end of treatment. We observed important group differences in outcomes, in particular for CM patients.
Hypnosis is a Surgical Pain Intervention: A Systematic Review
Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Community Health (ICCH 2019)
Surgery is a medical procedure that can cause perioperative pain. Pain in the perioperative phase that received by the patient can cause various complications. Hypnosis is a part of complementary and alternative therapies that are able to cope with pain. The purpose of the review is to perform a systematic review of the literature. Hypnosis is a part of complementary and alternative therapies that are able to cope with pain in surgery. A comprehensive article search through EBSCO, PROQUEST, and Scopus, the original article was sought in the period of publication between 1999 and 2019. The original articles reported on the effectiveness of hypnosis with surgical patient inclusion criteria. A total of 1994 studies have been identified in the literature search. However, only 27 studies were eligible for analysis in this study. The instruments used were visual analogue scale and numeric rating scale questionnaire were used to identify the level of pain in the study. The outcome revealed that hypnosis can decrease level of pain in each perioperative phase significantly. Further research needs to be done to add strong evidence about the use of hypnosis for perioperative pain management.
Hypnotic Approaches for Chronic Pain Management Clinical Implications of Recent Research Findings
The empirical support for hypnosis for chronic pain management has flourished over the past two decades. Clinical trials show that hypnosis is effective for reducing chronic pain, although outcomes vary between individuals. The findings from these clinical trials also show that hypnotic treatments have a number of positive effects beyond pain control. Neurophysiological studies reveal that hypnotic analgesia has clear effects on brain and spinal-cord functioning that differ as a function of the specific hypnotic suggestions made, providing further evidence for the specific effects of hypnosis. The research results have important implications for how clinicians can help their clients experience maximum benefits from hypnosis and treatments that include hypnotic components.
