This preliminary case report explored the use of hypnosis induced through a 3-dimensional, immersive, computer-generated virtual reality (VR) world as a means to control pain and anxiety in a patient with a severe burn injury. On hospitalization Day 40, after reports of uncontrollable pain and anxiety, the patient underwent hypnotic induction while immersed in a virtual world and received posthypnotic suggestions for decreased pain and anxiety during subsequent wound-care sessions. The patient's pain and anxiety each dropped 40% after VR hypnosis on a Graphic Rating Scale for his Day 41 wound care. Pain dropped similar levels on Day 42 with an audio-only version of the intervention and then returned to baseline without intervention on Day 43.
这份初步病例报告探讨了通过三维沉浸式计算机生成虚拟现实（VR）世界诱导催眠，以此作为控制一名严重烧伤患者疼痛和焦虑的一种手段。在住院第40天，在报告出现无法控制的疼痛和焦虑后，患者在沉浸于虚拟世界的同时接受了催眠诱导，并在随后的伤口护理过程中接受了减轻疼痛和焦虑的催眠后暗示。在第41天伤口护理的视觉模拟评分量表上，患者的疼痛和焦虑在VR催眠后均下降了40%。在第42天，仅使用音频版本的干预措施时疼痛下降到了类似水平，然后在第43天未经干预又回到了基线水平。
