Does hypnosis work for pain management?
Hypnosis may be a helpful nondrug therapy to reduce pain in chronic conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgiaStudies show that more than 75% of people with arthritis and related diseases experience significant pain relief using hypnosis.
Can hypnosis help with chronic nerve pain?
Hypnosis treatment is able to relieve chronic neuropathic and musculoskeletal pain. Hypnosis treatment yielded moderate effect on pain intensity and pain interference.
How can hypnosis be used with our experience of pain?
Hypnosis allows you to alter perception, to narrow the focus of attention. It also allows you to detach yourself from concerns that might amplify the pain. Using functional MRI, we've found that, during hypnosis, a part of the brain called the salience network is less active.
People typically tend to think of hypnosis as some kind of circus act. This cannot help though since there is so much hype regarding its use. But did you know that it can be a viable and natural way for managing pain? This is very much apparent in monks practicing a form of hypnosis coupled in their religious beliefs enabling them to perform rituals that involves so much pain that it can be considered as simply impossible for any normal person to do.
Indeed the use of hypnosis for conquering pain isn't new. Ancient cultures had been able to use it to settle their minds and achieve a sense of focus that enables them to put aside any sensations of pain or discomfort. This is certainly true regardless if the hypnotism was self induced or initiated by somebody else. Through this level of hypnosis, it is believed that it's entirely possible to shut down our bodies' sensations of pain.

Can Hypnosis Help with Pain Management?!
Mind over matter, a phrase we’ve all heard before. It is typically interpreted to mean that we can use our mind to overcome a situation or even physical condition.
For pain sufferers, does this mean that a technique such as hypnosis could help overcome the feeling of pain?
Hypnosis involves learning how to use your mind and thoughts to manage emotional distress, unpleasant physical symptoms such as pain.
Hypnosis treatment for pain conditions typically consists of 4 stages:
Induction – to focus one’s attention
Deepening – to deepen one’s relaxation of the body
Suggestions – for changes in the client’s experience of pain
Debriefing – to go over what transpired
Beyond taking a participant through these common stages, a therapist may employ varying approaches.
They may focus on changing the sensations from pain to something else or on shifting the patient’s attention away from the pain.
There is growing evidence and established research to suggest that hypnosis:
- Has a greater influence on the effects of pain rather than the sensation of pain
- May be more effective or at least equivalent to other treatments for acute and chronic pain
- Have the potential to save both money and time for patients and clinicians, if the patient responds to hypnosis
- May be able to provide analgesia, reduce stress, relieve anxiety, improve sleep, improve mood and reduce the need for opioids
- Can enhance the efficacy of other well-established treatments for pain
