Filter by:Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic disease characterized by widespread pain of unknown origin, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive problems. In the treatment of FMS, it is known that pharmacological therapy reduces fatigue as well as pain, increases functionality, and has positive effects on general well-being. In functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, suggestion following hypnotic induction has been reported to be better at pain control in patients with FMS. Self-hypnosis is a technique performed by the patient himself. The patients were randomly divided into two groups using the closed envelope technique as Group 1: Hypnosis and Group 2: Control. Patients who had communication problems, had other rheumatological diseases, had major medical disease and received treatment, had neurological and/or central nervous system disease, had been using antipsychotic medication, had been treated with psychotherapy for the last three months, and did not want to participate in the study were excluded from the study. Demographic characteristics of the participants and fibromyalgia effect beck depression and anxiety scale, Nottingham health profile and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were applied and the results were recorded. At the end of the 6th month, all scales and patient controls were made and re-evaluated. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of controlled, standardized adjuvant hypnosis on pain, depression, anxiety, aerobic exercise practices, quality of life, and disease impact score in patients with FMS who had been under treatment for at least six months.
Catalepsy seems to facilitate hypnotic induction and deepen hypnotic trance, although no work confirms the usefulness of this technique which is in common use in hypnosis. Furthermore, it has been shown that the hypnotic trance state is accompanied by an increase in parasympathetic tone, the non-invasive measurement of which is easy by the ANI monitor (Analgesia Nociception Index). The research hypothesis is that, by adding a body dissociation, catalepsy could facilitate and intensify the hypnotic trance, the intensity of which can be monitored and is proportional to the parasympathetic tone.
The study objective is to assess the feasibility of hypnosis sessions for palliative care patients in home care and of their relatives. The intervention consists of four 15-minute hypnosis sessions for the patients and for one family member, taking place at the patient's home. Recordings will be given to practice self-hypnosis.
Background and Goal of Study Labor pain remains an area where different analgesia options are looked for, more specifically non-pharmacological remedies are popular. Hypnosis and virtual reality (VR) have been studied with encouraging results. However, until now, the combination of VR and hypnosis (VRH) has not been assessed during labor, although it has shown promising results in other acute pain areas. The VRH4L study will evaluate the efficacy of Virtual Reality Hypnosis (VRH) in reducing pain during labor. Hypnosis is delivered as a standardized therapeutic intervention through virtual reality, using a digital sedation software (AQUA ®, Oncomfort SA). For this prospective, interventional parallel group, monocentric randomized controlled trial full term women who were planned for an induction of labor at the St-Jean Hospital in Brussels from March to May 2021 were included. Women with complicated pregnancies and patients with contraindications to VR were excluded. Patients were randomized in two arms. In the VRH group the patients received a 30-minute session of virtual reality hypnosis when in active labor and had access to standard care. Patients in the control group received only standard care. Primary outcome was the difference in post intervention pain score between the two arms. Secondary outcomes were the difference in pain score 30 minutes after the intervention, vital signs correlated to pain, satisfaction of the experience, interaction with the midwife and prevalence of side effects. Data was analyzed using the student's T test.
Its a prospective, non-interventional, single-center study, involving the human person evaluating the impact of self-hypnosis training on anxiety level and burn out in nursing and medical staff
It is proposed to induce in a obstructive sleep apnea syndrome patient, a hypnotic trance leading to intense muscle relaxation, capable of reproducing in the upper airways (VAS) the muscle relaxation observed in sleep, at the origin of obstructive apnea and snoring. The collapsibility type obtained, classified according to Kezirian, will allow specific management by OAM in the event of predominant anteroposterior stenosis. There are no risks fort the patient. The Drug Induce Sleep endoscopy (DISE) is a fibroscopy of upper aerodigestive tract.
to evaluate, in healthy volunteers, the analgesic effect of medical hypnosis versus a state of calm watch during a thermal harmful stimulation and monitored by a quantitative, objective criterion and validated in the literature that is the NOL index .Monitoring the NOL index will allow us to assess the level of nocipception linked to standardized thermal stimulation between the two states: hypnotherapy versus calm watch state. Each subject of the study will be subject to the two conditions (hypnosis versus calm watch state) during which participant will be subjected to the same type of thermal stimulation with the same monitoring of the parameters under study. The choice, for each subject, to start with the hypnosis session versus the calm standby session will be decided by randomization according to the "cross-over" drawing of this study, and before session 1. Using the NOL index, the investigators want to check what is the real and objective impact of hypnosis on the pain induced by a standardized harmful stimulus. If the investigators find a significant difference in the variations of the NOL index after harmful stimulation between the two situations (hypnosis versus calm watch state) then the investigators can offer this monitoring in future studies, to follow the induced hypnotic trance in patients with local anesthesia during surgery associated with hypnosedation.
This study will measure the efficacy of hypnosis on pain after a major abdominal surgery. The aim is to further improve comfort and rehabilitation of patients after surgery, beyond the usual early recovery after surgery (ERAS) enhancement protocols. Patients will be randomised (1:2) to the standard of care regarding pain management and rehabilitation, as part of the ERAS protocol, vs. ERAS + an additional hypnosis intervention. In this group, hospitalised patients are given 3 hypnosis sessions targeting analgesia between postoperative day 1 to 12. The study will collect outcomes about pain and its burden, sleep quality, appetite, mobilisation and mood. Secondary outcomes also include use of pain medication and length of hospital stay.
The investigators propose to evaluate the analgesic effect of medical hypnosis prior to the pharmacological induction of general anesthesia versus a classical pharmacological induction of anesthesia. Monitoring of the NOL index (Nociception index) as well as all the other classical parameters under general anesthesia (heart rate, blood pressure etc) will allow evaluation of the level of nociception related to oro-tracheal intubation as well as the one related to standardized electrical tetanic stimulation during general anesthesia and before surgical incision, between the two groups. The investigators know from the literature that the use of medical hypnosis in combination with anesthetic drugs allows for a significant reduction of hypnotic and opioid drugs. The investigators aim here at evaluating the real and objective impact of pre-anesthesia hypnosis on intraoperative nociception by using the NOL index which has been developed and used recently to better detect nociceptive stimuli under anesthesia. This clinical trial will provide an objective answer on the analgesic properties of intraoperative hypnosis. If this is confirmed, hypnosis could find its place in the management of perioperative nociception around general anesthesia.
The investigation will assess the brain activation connectivity patterns associated with hypnosis and possible hypnotic sub-states by means of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). For that purpose, 50 healthy participants highly familiar with hypnosis (according to the OMNI-method) will be recruited and tested.
