This study involves a replication and extension of a previous one reported by Hurwitz et al (1991) on the treatment of certain parasomnias with hypnosis.
Thirty-six patients (17 females), mean age 32.7 years (range 6-71). Four were children aged 6 to 16. All had chronic, "functionally autonomous" (self-sustaining) parasomnias. All underwent 1 or 2 hypnotherapy sessions and were then followed by questionnaire for 5 years.
Of the 36 patients, 45.4% were symptom-free or at least much improved at the 1-month follow-up, 42.2% at the 18-month follow-up, and 40.5% at the 5-year follow-up.
One or 2 sessions of hypnotherapy might be an efficient first-line therapy for patients with certain types of parasomnias.
本研究是对赫维茨等人(1991年)先前报道的一项关于用催眠疗法治疗某些异态睡眠的研究进行重复和扩展。
36名患者(17名女性),平均年龄32.7岁(范围6 - 71岁)。其中4名是6至16岁的儿童。所有患者均患有慢性“功能自主”(自我维持)异态睡眠。所有患者均接受了1或2次催眠治疗,随后通过问卷调查进行了5年的随访。
在36名患者中,1个月随访时45.4%的患者症状消失或至少有显著改善,18个月随访时为42.2%,5年随访时为40.5%。
对于某些类型的异态睡眠患者,1或2次催眠治疗可能是一种有效的一线治疗方法。
