Pain-Reduction Strategies in Hypnotic Context and Hypnosis: ERPs and SCRs During a Secondary Auditory Task

Focused analgesia produced the most pain reduction in high, but not medium or low, hypnotizable subjects who showed shorter reaction times, higher central and parietal P300 peaks, and higher skin conductance responses.

Influence of body position, emotions, placebo and cognitive modulation on pain experience and pain-related somatosensory ERPs

The present work contributed to the understanding of the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying pain modulation through sensory, attentional, emotional and cognitive processes by revealing the effects of body position, emotions, placebo expectations and cognitive reappraisal on subjective pain experience and pain-related somatosensory potentials.

It is demonstrated that hypnotic suggestions can exert a top-down modulatory effect on attention/preconscious brain processes involved in pain perception by reducing the strength of the association of pain modulation and brain activity changes at BA3.

Hypnotic analgesia: 1. Somatosensory event-related potential changes to noxious stimuli and 2. Transfer learning to reduce chronic low back pain.

The authors document the development of self-efficacy through the successful transfer by participants of newly learned skills of experimental pain reduction to reduction of their own chronic pain through hypnotic analgesia.

Hypnotic hypo- and hyperalgesia: divergent effects on pain ratings and pain-related cerebral potentials

Laser-induced pain-related brain potentials and sensory pain ratings in high and low hypnotizable subjects during hypnotic suggestions of relaxation, dissociated imagery, focused analgesia, and placebo.

Both high and low hypnotizable subjects exhibited significant reductions of reported pain during conditions of neutral hypnosis, relaxation, dissociated imagery, and focused analgesia, and both groups showed significant reductions in amplitudes when the data were recalculated to reflect relative changes compared to the average amplitude of the pre- and postconditions.
