Analgesic hypnotic treatment in a post-stroke patient

Am J Clin Hypn. 2021 Jan;63(3):192-201. doi: 10.1080/00029157.2020.1797622.ABSTRACTIn recent years, hypnotic suggestions have been used in several clinical conditions. This treatment is often used for anxiety treatment, somatization, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Hypnotic analgesia is one of the most clinically useful phenomena of hypnosis. The article describes the case of a patient who underwent hypnotic treatments for hypersensitivity and chronic pain. Results showed an improvement of pain control and a decrease of pain hypersensibility. In addition, during rehabilitative treatments, the patient reported a high level of compliance with the multidisciplinary team. These findings suggest that hypnosis could be a useful treatment for post-stroke pain management.PMID:33617425 | DOI:10.1080/00029157.2020.1797622
