Could Hypnosis Replace Opioids for Pain Management?
Hypnotherapist have long known that pain can often be controlled or even eliminated using hypnosis. Many such hypnotherapist have worked at the deepest levels of hypnosis that are characterized by the absence of the perception of pain. A person experiencing a very deep hypnotic state can often be pinched very hard or pricked with a needle with no conscious reaction whatever. Moreover, successful pain management using hypnosis has been well documented to control pain during and after some invasive surgeries and dental procedures as well as during childbirth.
An article in the August 1, 2016 issue of Time magazine online reported on a research study conducted at the Stanford University School of Medicine and reported in Cerebral Cortex (a well respected peer-reviewed professional journal). In that study, 36 people were hypnotized and given several fMRIs (a fMRI—or functional MRI—measures brain activity by recording changes in brain blood flow). Another group of 21 individuals , served as the control group.
Researchers found that the hypnotized group showed significant and positive action in the area of the brain that creates and regulates perceptions of pain, stress, anxiety, and self-consciousness. This strongly suggests that hypnosis can be an effective pain management tool and that hypnosis could be used to manage pain in place of opioid based pain medications, which are often abused and lead to addiction. The researchers hoped that their work lead to a wider study of and use of hypnosis for pain management.
The results of this study also suggest that hypnosis (conducted by an experienced Certified Hypnotherapist) could be effective in dealing with stress, anxiety, and issues relating to self-perception.
