Hypnosis is a therapeutic technique that primarily involves attentive receptive concentration. Even though a small number of health professionals are trained in hypnosis and lingering myths and misconceptions associated with this method have hampered its widespread use to treat medical conditions, hypnotherapy has gained relevance as an effective treatment for irritable bowel syndrome not responsive to standard care. More recently, a few studies have addressed the potential influence of hypnosis on upper digestive function and disease. This paper reviews the efficacy of hypnosis in the modulation of upper digestive motor and secretory function. The present evidence of the effectiveness of hypnotherapy as a treatment for functional and organic diseases of the upper bowel is also summarized, coupled with a discussion of potential mechanisms of its therapeutic action.
催眠是一种主要涉及专注接受性集中的治疗技术。尽管只有少数健康专业人员接受过催眠培训，且与该方法相关的长期存在的误解和错误观念阻碍了其在治疗医学病症方面的广泛应用，但催眠疗法作为一种治疗对标准护理无反应的肠易激综合征的有效方法已变得越来越重要。最近，一些研究探讨了催眠对上消化道功能和疾病的潜在影响。本文综述了催眠在调节上消化道运动和分泌功能方面的疗效。还总结了目前关于催眠疗法作为上消化道功能性和器质性疾病治疗方法有效性的证据，并讨论了其治疗作用的潜在机制。
