Hypnotherapy for Pain Control
Hypnosis has been used throughout history for various purposes, but only in recent years has research provided strong evidence supporting its effectiveness in clinical settings for pain management and many other areas. Today, hypnosis is widely used worldwide to assist with pain management, childbirth, and more.

Hypnotherapy for Chronic Pain Relief
Chronic pain affects not only physical health but also mental well-being and overall quality of life. Research shows that pain is not just a physical sensation; it also has psychological and emotional components. How we interpret and perceive pain plays a significant role in how we experience it.
Pain is often considered a construct made up of three factors:
Two of these factors are mind-based and respond very well to hypnotherapy for pain relief. By working with hypnosis to alter our perception of past pain and how we anticipate future pain, we can significantly reduce the way we experience pain in the present. Hypnotherapy for managing chronic pain can help shift our experience of discomfort, making it more manageable or even alleviating it altogether. As Florence Nightingale said in 1859, “The most important thing a nurse could do was to help the sick vary their thoughts,” a truth that remains relevant today.
Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool to help “vary our thoughts” and experience pain in more constructive and comfortable ways.
“There is now sufficient scientific evidence to consider hypnosis an effective and specific treatment for pain, which shows superiority to pills and placebo.”
American Psychological Association
“Hypnosis lowers the cost of treatment in medical settings.”
Montgomery
“No other psychological technique is as efficacious in creating comfort out of discomfort, with none of the adverse side effects associated with medical treatments of comparable efficacy.”
Barber (1986:151)
How Hypnotherapy helps with Pain Control
With hypnotherapy, we can address past pain, reduce anticipated pain, and also change the perception and intensity of present pain. It is often said, “There is no pain until it reaches the brain,” and while this is an oversimplification, the core idea is true. Hypnosis alters how we experience pain on both physiological and psychological levels.
Scientific research has shown the successful use of hypnosis in pain management. Hypnotherapy has proven to be effective for treating various types of pain and discomfort.
