The author sent surveys to 178 consecutive youths previously referred for hypnosis for headaches. The survey sought current status of headaches: treatment, application of self-hypnosis, headache intensity, frequency, duration after self-hypnosis, generalization of self-hypnosis to other problems, and attitudes regarding self-hypnosis and life stresses. Of 134 delivered surveys, 52 were returned complete. Years after treatment, 85% (44/52) reported continued relief with self-hypnosis, 44% (23/52) reported decreased headache frequency, 31% (16/52) noted decreased severity, and 56% (29/52) reported that self-hypnosis reduced headache intensity. Many (26/52) emphasized the value of self-hypnosis to life stresses. In children and adolescents, self-hypnosis is associated with significant improvement of headaches and with an enduring positive effect for many years following training. Results suggest common and spontaneous generalizability of self-hypnosis by young people to modulation of other problems in their lives.
作者向 178 名曾因头痛接受催眠治疗的连续青年发送了调查。调查询问了目前头痛的状况：治疗、自我催眠的应用、头痛强度、频率、自我催眠后的持续时间、自我催眠对其他问题的泛化以及对自我催眠和生活压力的态度。在 134 份送达的调查中，有 52 份完整回复。在治疗多年后，85%（44/52）的人报告说继续通过自我催眠缓解头痛，44%（23/52）的人报告说头痛频率降低，31%（16/52）的人注意到头痛程度减轻，56%（29/52）的人报告说自我催眠降低了头痛强度。许多人（26/52）强调了自我催眠对生活压力的价值。在儿童和青少年中，自我催眠与头痛的显著改善相关，并在训练后多年持续产生积极影响。结果表明，年轻人可以自发地将自我催眠普遍应用于调节生活中的其他问题。
