Ran D. Anbar, professor of paediatrics at SUNY Upstate Medical University, New York, recommends hypnosis as a treatment option when a child's respiratory symptoms appear to 've a psychological component.The research explores proper utilisation of hypnosis with conventional treatment & its ability to use the mind-body connection to bring about physiological changes.- Symptoms includes:
- Discomfort during medical procedures
- Habitual coughing
- Hyperventilation
- Noise while inhaling such as a gasp or squeak
- Difficulty in swallowing
- Unexplained sensations of difficulty in breathing
Symptoms that 're absent during sleep, can be associated with a particular activity or location, or 're linked to or triggered by an emotional response may be particularly responsive to hypnosis.
Hypnosis can also help lessen sensations of difficulty in breathing & anxiety in other respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis & asthma. It is also a valuable tool for easing a child's anxiety & helping patients control their response to discomfort.
Dr. Anbar cautions that hypnosis should not be attempted or considered for use by someone who is not a health care provider & has not received appropriate training in the technique, says a SUNY release.
“Anbar has added hypnosis to our therapeutic toolbox. When breathing problems 've a large mind-body component, resolution with hypnosis can dramatically reduce the need for expensive testing & medications,” says Harold Farber - editor of Paediatric Asthma, Allergy Immunology, & associate professor of paediatrics, section of pulmonology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, which published these findings.
