Hypnosis, or hypnotic analgesia is being used in emergency rooms (ER) in Europe.
Hypnosis has been used for various applications including therapy and entertainment purposes. Hypnosis is a method used to modify the state of mind of a subject, and hypnosis comes from the word "sleep".
Hypnotic analgesia is a breakthrough for the medical establishment because this method of acute pain management is non-habit forming and can be accomplished on a mass scale.
Traditionally, medical hypnosis is used to focus patient's minds of a point source of trauma, and hypnotic analgesia is the opposite. You've probably seen a film where a patient under hypnosis is able to pinpoint a trauma and break it down in a way that approaches making sense. With the advent of medical practitioners trained in both medical hypnosis and hypnotic analgesia, many traumatic and painful experiences can be tackled without medication. Medication can be both physically and psychological addictive and habit forming, and any way we can minimize it's use is positive in the medical field.
The hypnotic techniques used during hypnotic analgesia is primarily focusing away from pain and trauma the patient is experiencing. This is similar to related "sleight of hand" hypnotic techniques performed on stage. In particulary traumatic situations, a practitioner trained in hypnotic analgesia can help channel multiple patients experiencing trauma without using medicine. This helps hospitals save costs on medicine and medical applications.
