Research on hypnosis and pain relief

Research on hypnosis and pain relief suggests that hypnosis can help manage pain by influencing the brain’s perception of discomfort. When a person is hypnotized, they enter a focused state of attention, which can alter their awareness of pain and reduce anxiety. Studies have shown that hypnosis can be effective for various pain conditions, such as chronic pain, migraines, and during medical procedures. This approach may work by enhancing relaxation and modifying the way the brain processes pain signals, making it a promising adjunct to traditional pain management techniques.
