“…Electrodermal activity and respiration and heart rates, however, were not different between the two groups. There was no association between the changes induced by neutral hypnosis in the four autonomic variables and the hypnotizability score measured by the`Stanford Hypnotic Clinical Scale for Adults' [20], determined previously in these study participants [2].

The goal of the present study was to investigate whether suggestions for cold or warmth during hypnosis affect fingertip skin temperature. Hypnosis without specific suggestions for cold or warmth (`neutral hypnosis') caused a drop in respiration frequency, however, pulse rate, fingertip skin temperature, and electrodermal activity were not affected. The cold and warmth suggestions decreased and increased fingertip skin temperature, respectively. Compared with the neutral trance phase, the other three autonomic variables measured were also affected by suggestions for cold. However, there was no association between the changes in autonomic variables induced by suggestions and hypnotizability scores measured by the `Stanford Hypnotic Clinical Scale for Adults'. Fingertip skin temperature was mostly affected when the images used for the cold and warmth suggestions during hypnosis included experiences of physical temperature and psychological stress or relaxation, indicating that the psychological content of the imagery amplified the autonomic response.

“…The criterion for entrance to the study was a score of ~> 13 on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (Beck et al 1961). Seven patients with scores ~>2 on the Stanford Hypnotic Clinical Scale for Adults (Morgan and Hilgard 1978) were treated with "placebo light" [i.e., imaginary light (IL)] from 9:00-12:00 AM under dim light conditions (<50 lux). Another seven patients, who had lower scores, received real light (Vita Light, full spectrum, 2500 lux) from 9:00-12:00 AM (morning light, ML).…”
