Analgesic hypnotic treatment in a post-stroke patient

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