ABSTRACT

The use of hypnosis to promote hypnoanalgesia has a long history and has been written about anecdotally as well as having been researched in the last several decades. Research has been both clinical in nature and, in the laboratory, trying to understand the brain physiology and processes involved. This article is not about a review of the research. It is about sharing what I have learned to do clinically using hypnosis to treat patients with persistent pain over the last 40 plus years. Due to the restraints of limited space, I can only discuss the various techniques briefly. I will describe a philosophical perspective that has served me well and driven my approach to treatment. I will discuss the concept of self-regulation training along the dimensions of Sensation, Affect, Cognition, and Behavior and share how hypnosis has been incorporated in working within each of those aspects of experiencing.

使用催眠促进催眠镇痛已有很长的历史，并且在过去的几十年中已经进行了一些趣闻轶事的研究。研究既是临床性质的，也是在实验室中试图了解所涉及的大脑生理和过程的研究。本文与本研究无关。这是关于分享我过去40多年来使用催眠术治疗持续性疼痛患者的临床知识。由于空间有限的限制，我只能简要讨论各种技术。我将描述一种哲学观点，这种观点对我很有帮助，并推动了我的治疗方法。我将沿着“感觉”，“情感”，“认知”，“
