Workshop on hypnotherapy and pain
management
Muhammad Rafiq
University of Management and Technology,

This workshop will be focused on to give the concept
of recent and modern hypnotherapy especially in
the use of pain management (either psychological or
biological). Participants will be able to learn what is
hypnosis, its induction, suggestibility and its use in pain
management? Participants will also be demonstrated
a novel hypnotic technique called circle therapy in pain
management. Following abstract shows the effect of
circle therapy on painmanagement. Recent findings have
indicated that hypnotic interventions produce significant
decreases in pain. The current case studies are focused
to highlight the effect of a novel hypnotic technique for
headache management. Unpublished data from the
authors on this novel therapy has shown significant
impact on pain management including headache. All
the clients were gone through a complete observation
and clinical interview and only clients with psychological
pain were included in this group of case studies. For the
management of headache, a novel hypnotic intervention,
circle therapy (CT), was applied on a group of ten clients.
Before the induction of CT, the intensity of the headache
was measured through a subjective rating scale i.e., from
0 to 10. All the clients indicated the intensity in the range
of 8-10 on subjective rating scale for pain. According to
rating scale, headache above 8 is considered as severe,
above 5moderate and above 3mild. CT is a brief hypnotic
technique limiting around ten minutes. Post hypnosis
ratings were also measured. The pre and post hypnosis
data was managed and analyzed by paired samples t
test. Use of CT shows a significant results between pre
and post rating (M=9, SD=0.25) and (M=1, SD=0.21; p<
0.001). This brief CT, a hypnotic intervention provided an
immediate relief from headache, however, this is limited
to few case studies focusing on just headache. So, there
is need to see the effect of CT on more cases and/or with
different types of pain.
