In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the use of hypnosis and hypnotic suggestions in the treatment of complaints such as pain and anxiety during medical procedures, irritable bowel syndrome, and headaches. Traditionally, hypnosis has been used in patients with psychiatric problems like posttraumatic stress, conversion, and dissociative disorders. Misconceptions about the nature of hypnosis, caused by the association with stage or show hypnosis, seems to prevent a wider integration in medicine. In this article, we try to shed more light on the nature of hypnosis and the evidence for its use in several medical disorders. Moreover, we discuss the use of hypnotic suggestions as a way to increase placebo effects.
近年来，人们对在医疗程序中使用催眠和催眠暗示来治疗疼痛、焦虑等不适、肠易激综合征以及头痛等方面的兴趣日益浓厚。传统上，催眠一直用于患有创伤后应激障碍、转换障碍和分离性障碍等精神问题的患者。由于与舞台或表演催眠的关联而产生的对催眠本质的误解，似乎阻碍了其在医学领域更广泛的应用。在本文中，我们试图更深入地探讨催眠的本质及其在几种医学疾病中的应用证据。此外，我们还讨论了使用催眠暗示作为增强安慰剂效应的一种方式。
