Abstract
MOORE and WIESNER, Kaiser Permanente, Oakland California USA studied the effectiveness of behaviourally-induced vasodilation hypnosis incorporating biofeedback and autogenics for the treatment of upper extremity repetitive strain injuries (RSI).
Background
Methodology
30 patients suffering from recent onset of upper extremity RSI symptoms were randomly assigned to either hypnotically-induced vasodilation or a waiting-list control. Treatments were performed individually, once per week for 6 weeks.
Results
Compared to the controls, patients in the hypnosis group showed highly significant increases in hand temperature between pre- and post-treatment and highly significant reductions in pain.
