“…Hypnosis has received a growing interest from cognitive neuroscience research due to its utility for not only advancing our understanding of the state of consciousness [1,2] but also as a potential tool in treatment of a number of chronic and psychological disorders [3][4][5][6][7]. Oakley et al [8] define hypnosis as a change in baseline mental activity in response to induction and/or a set of verbal instructions (referred to as suggestions) that facilitate such hypnotic mental states as increased absorption, focused attention, and reduced spontaneous thoughts [9].…”

Higher hypnotic suggestibility is associated with the lower EEG signal variability in theta, alpha, and beta frequency bands

Variation of information in the firing rate of neural population, as reflected in different frequency bands of electroencephalographic (EEG) time series, provides direct evidence for change in neural responses of the brain to hypnotic suggestibility. However, realization of an effective biomarker for spiking behaviour of neural population proves to be an elusive subject matter with its impact evident in highly contrasting results in the literature. In this article, we took an information-theoretic stance on analysis of the EEG time series of the brain activity during hypnotic suggestions, thereby capturing the variability in pattern of brain neural activity in terms of its information content. For this purpose, we utilized differential entropy (DE, i.e., the average information content in a continuous time series) of theta, alpha, and beta frequency bands of fourteen-channel EEG time series recordings that pertain to the brain neural responses of twelve carefully selected high and low hypnotically suggestible individuals. Our results show that the higher hypnotic suggestibility is associated with a significantly lower variability in information content of theta, alpha, and beta frequencies. Moreover, they indicate that such a lower variability is accompanied by a significantly higher functional connectivity (FC, a measure of spatiotemporal synchronization) in the parietal and the parieto-occipital regions in the case of theta and alpha frequency bands and a non-significantly lower FC in the central region's beta frequency band. Our results contribute to the field in two ways. First, they identify the applicability of DE as a unifying measure to reproduce the similar observations that are separately reported through adaptation of different hypnotic biomarkers in the literature. Second, they extend these previous findings that were based on neutral hypnosis (i.e., a hypnotic procedure that involves no specific suggestions other than those for becoming hypnotized) to the case of hypnotic suggestions, thereby identifying their presence as a potential signature of hypnotic experience. ) Higher hypnotic suggestibility is associated with the lower EEG signal variability in theta, alpha, and beta frequency bands.

It is not uncommon for a patient to appear at a therapist's practice and describe experiencing chronic pain together with difficulties sleeping. Sufferers often report high levels of continuous pain, daytime sleepiness, difficulties concentrating, negative mood states, difficulties with daily functioning and a general dissatisfaction with their lives. This article discusses the current state of sleep and pain therapies, looks at three clinical cases in which patients suffered from primary insomnia and chronic pain, and proposes a treatment protocol.

“…D'autres travaux vont dans ce sens, c'est-à-dire une meilleure acceptation par les patients de leur pathologie chronique, une amélioration des stratégies d'adaptation à leur situation et un renforcement de leur implication dans les soins, dans leur santé, notamment pour l'acupuncture [20][21][22]. De la même façon, si l'hypnose et la méditation, classées dans les approches psychocorporelles des médecines complémentaires, montrent une certaine efficacité sur le symptôme évalué directement par des études, néanmoins de qualité variable et assez hétérogènes [23][24][25][26][27], leurs actions sur les aspects cognitifs et affectifs de la douleur paraissent supérieures [28]. Certains auteurs proposent d'ailleurs une action en tandem de ces deux approches sur les aspects d'acceptation et de modulation cognitive [29].…”

Reçu le 27 mai 2015 ; accepté le 28 mai 2015 © Lavoisier SAS 2015Résumé Le recours aux médecines complémentaires par les patients douloureux chroniques est fréquent, ainsi que leur utilisation par les structures de prise en charge de la douleur. L'utilisation de ces pratiques a un effet important sur la modulation cognitive de la douleur et la mise en place de stratégies d'adaptation par les patients. La médecine de la douleur pourrait devenir un modèle d'intégration de ces thé-rapies à notre médecine conventionnelle.Mots clés Douleurs chroniques · Structure de prise en charge de la douleur · Médecines complémentaires · Hypnose · Acupuncture Abstract Chronic pain patients as well than pain center medical staff have a growing interest for complementary medicine. This one plays a major role on pain cognitive factor modulation and implementation of new coping strategies by patients. Pain medicine could be a model to support a reflection about integrative medicine.
