Pain Treatment with Hypnosis

Abstract

This article reviews controlled prospective trials of hypnosis for the treatment of chronic pain. Many studies, excluding studies of headaches, were identified that compared outcomes from hypnosis for the treatment of chronic pain to either baseline data or a control condition. Hypnotherapy is one of the effective techniques used in pain treatment. It is highly effective in treatment of especially chronic (habitual) and psychological pains.
