“…These findings suggest that, similar to other cognitive pain modulation procedures, reappraisal is associated with changes in the frontal-limbic brainstem network (Knudsen et al, 2011). Moreover, the neural activity pattern that emerges from these studies is compliant with the one observed in other paradigms that studied the impact of various forms of suggestion or induced beliefs on perceived pain, such as anticipation/placebo (Zubieta & Stohler, 2009) or hypnotic suggestion (Del Casale et al, 2015). This indicates that changing the meaning of potentially threatening or unpleasant stimuli, which is a driving force of reappraisal, may be a more universal mechanism that underlies all forms of higher-level cognitive pain modulation (Barber, 1957;Chen, 2009;van der Meulen, Kamping, & Anton, 2017;Wiech et al, 2008).…”

“…Authors thus concluded that cognitive restructuring, which underlies reappraisal regulatory effects, may be a more common mechanism that mediates the effects of pain inhibition in placebo analgesia (van der Meulen et al, 2017). Although there are no direct comparisons between cognitive reappraisal and hypnotic suggestion, a recent meta-analysis provides a broadly similar picture of hypnosis and reappraisal neural effects, thus highlighting the role of the ACC as well as the prefrontal, insular, and somatosensory cortices (Del Casale et al, 2015).…”

“…Here, however, the mechanisms that seem to account for pain reduction in hypnotic analgesia are somewhat different. Studies have shown that hypnotic analgesia is not only opiate-independent (which distinguishes it from the opiatedriven placebo effect), but also depends heavily on the degree of induced perception distortion/elevation of the perceptual threshold and the degree of hypnotic suggestibility (Del Casale et al, 2015). Conceivably, reinterpretation of painful somatosensory sensations plays a part in hypnoanalgesia as well, but this possibility is yet to be tested.…”

This study was designed to investigate the neural mechanism of cognitive modulation of pain via a reappraisal strategy with high temporal resolution. The EEG signal was recorded from 29 participants who were instructed to down-regulate, up-regulate, or maintain their pain experience. The L2 minimum norm source reconstruction method was used to localize areas in which a significant effect of the instruction was present. Down-regulating pain by reappraisal exerted a robust effect on pain processing from as early as~100 ms that diminished the activity of limbic brain regions: the anterior cingulate cortex, right orbitofrontal cortex, left anterior temporal region, and left insula. However, compared with the no-regulation condition, the neural activity was similarly attenuated in the up-and down-regulation conditions. We suggest that this effect could be ascribed to the cognitive load that was associated with the execution of a cognitively demanding reappraisal task that could have produced a general attenuation of pain-related areas regardless of the aim of the reappraisal task (i.e., up-or down-regulation attempts). These findings indicate that reappraisal effects reflect the joint influence of both reappraisal-specific (cognitive change) and unspecific (cognitive demand) factors, thus pointing to the importance of cautiously selected control conditions that allow the modulating impact of both processes to be distinguished. Keywords Pain . Cognitive reappraisal . Cognitive demand . EEG source localization Highlights • Temporal aspects of cognitive modulation of pain via cognitive reappraisal are investigated.• Reappraisal showed both early (from~100 ms) and late-latency effects, with neural attenuation in both regulatory conditions. • Reappraisal effects are driven by both cognitive change and unspecific cognitive load.

“…Consistent with the idea that mindfulness-based interventions and hypnosis represent fundamentally the same or closely related interventions, there is evidence of overlap between the two with potentially shared underlying cognitive mechanisms and neurophysiological changes (particularly in frontal cortical areas associated with executive function and cognitive control) (Cojan et al, 2009; Del Casale et al, 2015; Holroyd, 2003; Hölzel et al, 2011; Jensen, Day, & Miró, 2014; Tang, Hölzel & Posner, 2015). Further, shared changes in brain oscillations related to hypnotizability and deep meditation have been reported; both appear to result in increases in slower oscillations in the theta and alpha bandwidths (Holroyd, 2003; Jensen, Adachi, & Hakimian, 2015; Jensen, Day, & Miró, 2014).…”

Mindfulness-based interventions and hypnosis are efficacious treatments for addressing a large number of psychological and physical conditions, including chronic pain. However, there continues to be debate surrounding the relative uniqueness of the theorized mechanisms of these treatments – reflected by measures of mindfulness facets and hypnotizability – with some concern that there may be so much overlap as to make the mechanism constructs (and therefore the respective interventions) redundant. Given these considerations, the primary aim of the current study was to examine the degree of unique versus shared variance between two common measures of mindfulness facets and hypnotizability: the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) and the Stanford Hypnotic Clinical Scale (SHCS). A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a sample of N=154 Veterans with heterogeneous chronic pain conditions. Bivariate Pearson correlations were used to examine the associations between the target scales. Results showed that the correlations between the FFMQ scales and SHCS total score were uniformly weak, although significant negative correlations were found between mindfulness facets of observe and non-react with hypnotizability (ps < .05). Thus, not only are the mindfulness and hypnotizability constructs unique, but when significantly associated, hypnotic suggestibility corresponds with a tendency to be less mindful. These findings have important implications for future research aimed towards matching patients to the treatment most likely to be of benefit, and suggest that matching patients on the basis of these theoretically derived “unique” moderators may hold potential.

RésuméLe cancer et ses traitements ont de nombreux effets secondaires :d ouleurs, fatigue, difficultés de sommeil, nausées, vomissements, bouffées de chaleur,d é tresse émotionnelle. Ces symptômes impactent négativement la qualité de vie des patients et perdurent souvent pendant des années après les traitements. Malgré la difficultéàtraiter ces effets secondaires au moyend 'approches pharmacologiques, l'hypnose as ouvent été laisséed ec ôté en oncologie. L'hypnose est définie comme un état de conscience modifié au cours duquel des processus d'attention et de concentration focalisées permettent au sujet une absorption dans son monde intérieur associée à une relative mise en suspens de la conscience de l'environnement. Durant cette procédure, un professionnel suggère au patient des changements dans ses sensations, perceptions, pensées ou comportements. Plusieurs études ont mis en évidence l'efficacité de l'hypnose pour diminuer la douleur provoquée par les traitements et procédureso ncologiques. L'hypnose est également utile dans le cadre de la gestion de la fatigue liéea uc ancer.D es interventions combinant hypnose et thérapie cognitivocomportementale ou auto-bienveillance ont montré des effets positifs à ce niveau.
