Abstract

Habit cough is a chronic, persistent dry cough which occurs in children only when awake. It is considered functional (non-organic) and can have a significant impact on the quality of life of the child and their family. One possible treatment option for habit cough is hypnotherapy. At our centre we offered hypnotherapy sessions to patients diagnosed with habit cough, and conducted telephone interviews with patients' parents to determine the acceptability of this therapy. Nine patients' parents were interviewed, and despite being unsure of what to expect with hypnotherapy, all nine found it an acceptable treatment option. Parents reported that hypnotherapy appeared to result in cough reduction or cessation in 6 out of 9 cases.

摘要

习惯性咳嗽是一种慢性、持续性干咳，仅在儿童清醒时发生。它被认为是功能性的（非器质性的），会对儿童及其家庭的生活质量产生重大影响。习惯性咳嗽的一种可能治疗选择是催眠疗法。在我们中心，我们为被诊断为习惯性咳嗽的患者提供催眠治疗，并对患者的父母进行电话采访，以确定这种治疗方法的可接受性。对 9 名患者的父母进行了采访，尽管他们对催眠治疗的期望不确定，但所有 9 名父母都认为这是一种可以接受的治疗选择。父母们报告说，催眠疗法似乎使 9 例中的 6 例咳嗽减少或停止。
