Abstract

Chronic pain due to disease or injury persists even after interventions to alleviate these conditions. Opiates are not always effective for the patient and have undesirable side effects. Hypnosis has been shown to be an effective treatment and may be enhanced by the use of olfactory stimulation as a posthypnotic cue. The article details 2 case reports that demonstrate the possible benefits of olfactory stimulus as an adjunct to hypnosis for pain relief.

摘要

由疾病或损伤引起的慢性疼痛即使在采取缓解这些状况的干预措施后仍会持续。阿片类药物对患者并非总是有效，且有不良副作用。催眠已被证明是一种有效的治疗方法，并且通过使用嗅觉刺激作为催眠后暗示可能会得到增强。本文详细介绍了2例病例报告，这些报告证明了嗅觉刺激作为催眠辅助手段缓解疼痛的潜在益处。
