Analgesic hypnotic treatment in a post-stroke patient

In recent years, hypnotic suggestions have been used in several clinical<br> conditions. This treatment is often used for anxiety treatment, somatization,<br> and post-traumatic stress disorder. Hypnotic analgesia is one<br> of the most clinically useful phenomena of hypnosis. The article<br> describes the case of a patient who underwent hypnotic treatments<br> for hypersensitivity and chronic pain. Results showed an improvement<br> of pain control and a decrease of pain hypersensibility. In addition,<br> during rehabilitative treatments, the patient reported a high level of<br> compliance with the multidisciplinary team. These findings suggest<br> that hypnosis could be a useful treatment for post-stroke pain<br> management.
