This case report describes the use of hypnotic analgesia induced through immersive three-dimensional computer-generated virtual reality, better known as virtual reality hypnosis (VRH), in the treatment of a patient with ongoing pain associated with gluteal hidradenitis, The patient participated in the study for two consecutive days white hospitalized at a regional trauma centre. At pretreatment, she reported severe pain intensity and unpleasantness as well as high levels of anxiety and nervousness. She was then administered two sessions of virtual reality hypnotic treatment for decreased pain and anxiety. The patient's ratings of 'time spent thinking about pain', pain intensity, 'unpleasantness of pain', and anxiety decreased from before to after each daily VRH session, as well as from Day One to Day Two. The findings indicate that VRH may benefit individuals with severe, ongoing pain from a chronic condition, and that a controlled clinical trial examining its efficacy is warranted.
本病例报告描述了通过沉浸式三维计算机生成虚拟现实诱导的催眠镇痛法，即更广为人知的虚拟现实催眠（VRH），用于治疗一名患有与臀部化脓性汗腺炎相关的持续性疼痛的患者。该患者在一家地区创伤中心住院期间连续两天参与了这项研究。在预处理时，她报告了严重的疼痛强度和不适感，以及高度的焦虑和紧张情绪。然后，她接受了两疗程的虚拟现实催眠治疗，以减轻疼痛和焦虑。患者对“思考疼痛的时间”、疼痛强度、“疼痛的不适感”和焦虑的评分在每天的VRH疗程前后以及从第一天到第二天均有所下降。研究结果表明，VRH可能使患有慢性疾病导致严重持续性疼痛的个体受益，并且有必要进行一项对照临床试验来检验其疗效。
