Hypnosis provides effective psychological intervention for pain management.


This therapy programme aims to reduce the pain intensity and to help listeners eliminate unwanted, catastrophizing thoughts that are commonly associated with the experience of chronic pain. As pain is quite often linked to anxiety, the programme also helps reduce the feeling of distress and overwhelming worry.


Practising self-hypnosis for pain management, either on its own or in combination with medication is a reliable tool to complement and enhance successful treatment.
