Doctors use hypnosis to change the way the body perceives pain and aim to reduce the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease that causes body pain and tenderness, as well as fatigue and difficulty sleeping at night.by National Institute of Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin DiseasesScientists don’t fully understand the cause, but people who suffer from this disease have a “hypersensitivity to pain.” There is no cure, but symptoms can be managed and treated. Treatment usually includes a combination of exercise, psychological and behavioral therapy, and drug therapy.
was interested in Hypnosis Recently, especially for the treatment of fibromyalgia. This involves altering the patient’s state of consciousness, resulting in relaxation and improved concentration.according to daily mail However, there are reports that it is not effective in patients who are not “effectively hypnotized.” Doctors use hypnosis to change the way the body perceives pain and aim to reduce symptoms.

A report says scientists have finally discovered a way to make people easier to hypnotize. They have to pulse “radio waves through the brain.” Researchers at Stanford University in California recently claimed to have “cracked the code” to increasing the likelihood of hypnosis in patients by conducting a study on 80 fibromyalgia patients. Half of the participants had radio waves beamed into their prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain that processes pain.
Interestingly, participants who received electrical stimulation were found to be “more susceptible to hypnosis.”
by daily mail According to the report, participants were divided into two groups for the study. They underwent two “46-second applications of radio waves to the brain, with 800 pulses delivered during each session.” These were delivered using a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device worn on the head and were not thought to “cause any harm or discomfort”.
However, participants in the second group received a “placebo treatment” in which a device similar to TMS was worn on their heads, but no electrical pulses were sent. Hypnosis sessions were conducted for each patient before and after exposure to the TMS device. The researchers also conducted another session one hour after treatment. The researchers found that participants who received the treatment were “substantially more likely to experience hypnosis afterwards,” but that the effect “wanted within an hour.”
However, there was no effect in the placebo treatment group.
“We were pleasantly surprised that 92 seconds of stimulation could change stable brain characteristics that people have been trying to change for 100 years. We have finally cracked the code on how to do it. ” said a psychiatrist involved in the study. This is quoted as a statement by Dr. Nolan Williams.
