Each year, hundreds of thousands of women undergo excisional breast biopsies for definitive diagnosis. Not only do these patients experience pain associated with the procedure, but they also endure distress associated with the threat of cancer. Hypnosis has been demonstrated as effective for controlling patients' pain in other surgical settings, but breast surgery patients have received little attention. To determine the impact of brief presurgical hypnosis on these patients' postsurgery pain and distress and to explore possible mediating mechanisms of these effects, 20 excisional breast biopsy patients were randomly assigned to a hypnosis or control group (standard care). Hypnosis reduced postsurgery pain and distress. Initial evidence suggested that the effects of hypnosis were mediated by presurgery expectations.
每年，成千上万的女性接受切除性乳房活检以进行明确诊断。这些患者不仅要经历与手术相关的疼痛，还要承受与癌症威胁相关的痛苦。催眠已被证明在其他手术环境中对控制患者疼痛有效，但乳房手术患者却很少受到关注。为了确定术前短暂催眠对这些患者术后疼痛和痛苦的影响，并探索这些影响可能的中介机制，20名接受切除性乳房活检的患者被随机分为催眠组或对照组（标准护理）。催眠减轻了术后疼痛和痛苦。初步证据表明，催眠的效果是由术前期望介导的。
