Hypnosis not just a stage trick
Tim Radford
Friday September 10, 2004
Stage hypnosis might be mesmerising trickery but there is increasing evidence that it works as a medical treatment, according to researchers yesterday.
They told the British Association festival of science in Exeter that many of the dramatic effects could be achieved without an altered state of consciousness - but brain scans showed changes during hypnosis, and children with cancer were able to better deal with the pain of lumbar punctures using self-hypnosis.
"What our studies show is that just getting attention is not enough to help you feel less pain," said Christina Liossi of the University of Wales, Swansea. "When you do hypnosis you decrease pain; when you just get attention, you don't decrease pain."
Tests and brain scans on hypnotised volunteers suggested that a region of the brain called the anterior cingulated cortex - a region that checks imagination against reality - was altered during hypnosis. So experts could confirm an altered state of consciousness in those who could be hypnotised.
Peter Naish of the Open University said that a hard-nosed look at hypnosis as practised by entertainers might lead someone to conclude that hypnosis did not work. But in some circumstances, it did work.
"The evidence really, really is there. There are other areas where it will probably come soon. Hypnosis is not miraculous. It is for real. Something is going on. The arch-sceptical view cannot be right, and for sure the brain is doing quite different things during hypnosis from what it does in ordinary everyday existence," he said.
John Gruzelier from Imperial College London said "We have a magnificent therapeutic tool which has been ignored because there is no evidence of the mechanism involved. Now we are getting evidence of the mechanism and we now hope people will take it more seriously and develop its effects on cancer and the immune system, pain analgesia and so on."
