“…For the purposes of this review, an improvement in at least one score of these variables would be considered to constitute an improvement in the quality of pain management. Some studies used pain scales specific to the type of disease analyzed, such as the Multidimensional Haemophilia Pain Questionnaire (MHPQ) 10 . However, some instruments were recurrently used such as: self-report of pain, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) and McGill Pain Questionnaire.…”

“…The mean age of the participants was approximately 48 years. The diseases associated with pain were: three studies on multiple sclerosis [13][14][15] ; three on cancer [16][17][18] ; one on hemophilia 10 ; one on burns 19 ; one on fibromyalgia 20 ; one on brachial plexus injury 21 ; one on chronic pain in the elderly 8 ; one on intolerable pain 22 ; one on disability 23 ; one on post-traumatic injury 24 ; one on spinal cord injury 25 ; one on muscle pain 26 ; one on patients in palliative care 27 ; and one on chronic low back pain 28 . Table 1 shows the summary of the main characteristics of the included studies.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pain has great impact on public health and presents a social cost which transcends the financial aspect. Hypnosis is a focal, quick and low-cost resource with effective change possibilities in pain management. The objective of this study was to identify evidence of the efficiency of hypnosis in pain management. CONTENTS: This study consists of a systematic literature review held in February 2020. Search was carried out in the Pubmed, Cochrane, LILACS, Scielo and PsycInfo platforms, using the keywords "clinical trials", "hypnosis", "pain management", "pain intensity", and "quality of life", totalizing 18 studies after peer review. Most articles are randomized, controlled by comparing hypnosis to standard treatment or other integrative practices, and focus mainly on the aspects of intensity, quality and interference of pain as an outcome variable. Six studies mention quality of life and only two refer catastrophization as an important intervening variable. CONCLUSION: Hypnosis is an effective technique for pain management, considering that there was an improvement in pain management with the improvement of at least one aspect, be it intensity, interference or quality of pain. However, it's necessary to highlight important limitations of the studies, such as the small sample size and the complexity of systematizing subjective techniques, which highlights the need for more clinical trials, including multicentric studies, so that larger samples can be obtained.

“…Hypnosis is a cognitive-behavioral intervention that has been shown to have a powerful effect on pain management in a number of acute and chronic settings [ 10 , 11 ]. Thus, adjunctive treatments using psychosocial methods designed to teach and encourage the use of self-hypnosis may positively impact the pain perception, sleep quality, functional outcomes, quality of life, and satisfaction of individuals with sickle cell, further reducing and/or preventing painful crises and healthcare utilization.…”

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by recurrent painful vasoocclusive crises. Current evidence focuses on the frequency of acute pain crises resulting in emergency department use and nonplanned inpatient hospital admissions; yet few studies focus on pain sequelae outside the healthcare system or how individuals self-manage their chronic SCD-related pain. This study investigated the feasibility of a biobehavioral intervention as an adjunct nonpharmacological therapy to assist in the self-management of chronic pain. A randomized, controlled clinical trial of hypnosis was conducted in outpatients with SCD (n = 31). Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) administered at baseline, five, and twelve weeks from both groups included pain frequency, intensity, and quality (Pain Impact Scale (PIQ) and Numerical Rating Scales); anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), coping strategies (Coping Strategies Scale), sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)), and depression (Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)). The same PROs were collected at weeks seventeen and twenty-four from the control group after the crossover. No significant group by time interaction effects were found in any of the PROs based on the repeated-measures mixed models. The PIQ and PSQI scores decreased over time in both groups. Post hoc pairwise comparisons with the Bonferroni adjustment indicated that the mean PIQ score at baseline decreased significantly by week 12 ( p = 0.01) in the hypnosis group. There were no significant changes across time before and after the crossover in any of the PROs in the control group. As suggested by these findings, pain impact and sleep in individuals with SCD may be improved through guided mind-body and self-care approaches such as hypnosis.

“…Pain management is challenging because some analgesics, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines, are contraindicated in PwH [7] and access to nondrug therapies may be limited [8,9] . Individuals may use therapies such as acupuncture, marijuana and other complementary medicines [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] , but information about which therapies they use and their effectiveness is limited.…”

IntroductionPeople with haemophilia (PwH) experience recurrent bleeds in weight-bearing joints. Optimal management for people with severe haemophilia involves prophylaxis with factor VIII or IX, which helps to reduce the risk of bleeds and joint damage. However, this is expensive and frequently not an option in economically developing countries, where on-demand treatment is more commonly used as bleeding occurs. PwH with moderate and mild haemophilia are also treated on demand. Pain from bleeds and arthropathy is common in PwH; it is recognised as a burden that impairs quality of life and can be challenging to manage.AimsThis study aims to establish greater understanding of the experience of pain in PwH in different countries, the factors that influence this, and how pain is currently managed.MethodsPwH attending haemophilia treatment centres (HTCs) completed an anonymous questionnaire about their experience of pain and pain-relief within the previous 28 days (up to 10 PwH per participating HTC).Results209 PwH from 20 HTCs in 11 countries participated in the study. The median age was 36 (range 8–84); 181 (86.6%) had haemophilia A, 25 (12.0%) haemophilia B, and three (1.4%) did not know; 148 (70.8%) had severe haemophilia, 28 (13.4%) moderate, and 31 (14.8%) mild. Twenty-eight (13.4%) had an inhibitor. The majority (n=121; 57.9%) were on prophylaxis; 61 (29.2%) were treated on demand; 20 (9.6%) used a combination; 7 (3.3%) did not know. 154 PwH (73.9%) experienced a total of 1,945 days of pain with severity on a visual analogue scale reported as 4.5. The most commonly reported sites of pain were joints and muscles. There was no significant difference in pain incidence between countries. Children aged less than 16 years reported the lowest amount of pain, with reported pain increasing with age in older respondents. Simple analgesia such as paracetamol was used but participants reported that it did not relieve pain. Alternative pain-relief strategies including rest, physiotherapy, walking aids, alcohol or marijuana were also used with varying effect.ConclusionsPain is common among PwH and increases with age. Age and developmentally appropriate pain assessment should be a part of routine haemophilia care.
