Medical Hypnosis (anesthesia and pain)

FR
HM

Applied to anesthesia and pain, medical hypnosis induces a modified state of consciousness (focusing, dissociation, suggestibility), mobilized notably in hypnosedation, combined with local anesthesia and light sedation. It significantly reduces perioperative and procedural pain, anxiety and opioid consumption, and accelerates recovery.
