Abstract:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hypnotic suggestions for hypoalgesia or analgesia are efficient for relieving different pain conditions, presenting few or no side effects. However, little is known about its direct effect on the modulation of peripheral nociception. The goal of this study was to evaluate the mechanical and thermal response after specific hypnotic suggestions in healthy volunteers. METHODS: This is a randomized double-blinded controlled trial that aimed to evaluate both mechanical and thermal nocicep… Show more
