 Hypnosis, a mind-body intervention, has been widely demonstrated to reduce pain. In fact, analgesia is perhaps the best known effect of hypnosis. Meta-analyses have consistently supported the efficacy of hypnosis for pain control, including chronic pain. Hypnosis also has a long tradition in cancer symptom management, especially for pain reduction. Hypnosis has been defined as an agreement between a person designated as the hypnotist e.g., health care professional and a person designated as the client or patient to participate in a psychotherapeutic technique based on the hypnotist providing suggestions for changes in sensation, perception, cognition, affect, mood, or behavior.
