Contrasting

Order By: Relevance

“…Contrasting findings were reported by Minonzio et al [ 43 ], who explored autonomic alterations under controlled respiration (respiratory-paced hypnosis) in eleven healthy participants. Autoregressive power spectral analysis of the RR interval and SAP (systolic arterial pressure) variabilities yielded indices of cardiac sympatho-vagal interaction (LF/HF) and vascular sympathetic vasomotor control (LFSAP) (low frequency systolic arterial pressure).…”

“…Moreover, this study emphasizes the critical role of controlled settings, such as breath control and simulator environments, in strengthening the rigor and generalizability of the findings [ 12 , 43 ]. By highlighting the importance of these controlled settings, this study ensures that its conclusions are robust and applicable to real-world scenarios.…”

Hypnosis, a time-honored therapeutic approach, has gained widespread recognition for its effectiveness in addressing a range of psychological and somatic disorders. While its primary effects are mediated by central top–down mechanisms, hypnosis also exerts peripheral influence by modulating the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Psychophysiological measures, such as heart rate (HR) and its variability (HRV), electrodermal activity (EDA), respiratory rate (RR), and the analgesia nociceptive index (ANI), serve as reliable indicators of ANS activity. Studies have consistently demonstrated hypnosis’ ability to significantly impact ANS functions, lowering sympathetic activity and enhancing parasympathetic tone. This effect is particularly pronounced during relaxation procedures and is influenced by mediating factors like hypnotizability and task conditions. Despite methodological limitations, this review highlights the potential of enhanced ANS modulation through hypnosis, including its connections to the central nervous system (CNS), to optimize therapeutic outcomes in patients with psychosomatic disorders associated with ANS dysfunction.
