Chronic Pain and Hypnosis?

In a recent study in Geneva, Switzerland at the Hospital Contonal University by Department of Anesthesiology, hypnosis was compared to acupuncture as a method for pain control. The results showed that pain intensity was significantly lower with the hypnosis group than with the acupuncture group.

Do you know someone who is currently experiencing chronic pain or discomfort? Sometimes all that is needed for those who might be a little skeptical about hypnosis is for you to educate them about the most recent scientific findings and bring them up to date. Never try to push the idea of hypnosis until you know the persons current beliefs regarding hypnosis. Once you know where they stand, you will be in a better position, knowing exactly what kind of evidence they'll need to see or hear, before the hypnosis, as an option, becomes acceptable.

Till next time,
