We introduce here a general model of Functional Neurological Disorders based on the following hypothesis: a Functional Neurological Disorder could correspond to a consciously initiated voluntary top-down process causing involuntary lasting consequences that are consciously experienced and subjectively interpreted by the patient as involuntary. We develop this central hypothesis according to Global Neuronal Workspace theory of consciousness, that is particularly suited to describe interactions between conscious and non-conscious cognitive processes. We then present a list of predictions defining a research program aimed at empirically testing their validity. Finally, this general model leads us to reinterpret the long-debated links between hypnotic suggestion and functional neurological disorders. Driven by both scientific and therapeutic goals, this theoretical paper aims at bringing closer the psychiatric and neurological worlds of functional neurological disorders with the latest developments of cognitive neuroscience of consciousness.

“…From these nociceptors, signals travel to the spinal cord, where synapses transmit the information to the thalamus (Bastuji et al, 2016a ; Groh et al, 2018 ), the primary somatosensory (S1) cortex, the secondary somatosensory cortex (S2) and the primary motor cortex (M1). Further information is transmitted to the insular cortex (Segerdahl et al, 2015 ), the anterior, mid, and post cingulate cortices (Kuner, 2010 ; Bastuji et al, 2016b ; Groh et al, 2018 ; Del Casale et al, 2022 ), and to regions in the parietal cortices among them to the precuneus (Bliss et al, 2016 ). The thalamus also connects to regions of emotion, memory, and fear processing in the amygdala, hippocampus (Tajerian et al, 2018 ), and subcortical structures including the basal ganglia and brainstem.…”

This narrative review summarizes a representative collection of electrophysiological and imaging studies on the neural processes and brain sources underlying hypnotic trance and the effects of hypnotic suggestions on the processing of experimentally induced painful events. It complements several reviews on the effect of hypnosis on brain processes and structures of chronic pain processing. Based on a summary of previous findings on the neuronal processing of experimentally applied pain stimuli and their effects on neuronal brain structures in healthy subjects, three neurophysiological methods are then presented that examine which of these neuronal processes and structures get demonstrably altered by hypnosis and can thus be interpreted as neuronal signatures of the effect of analgesic suggestions: (A) On a more global neuronal level, these are electrical processes of the brain that can be recorded from the cranial surface of the brain with magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG). (B) On a second level, so-called evoked (EPs) or event-related potentials (ERPs) are discussed, which represent a subset of the brain electrical parameters of the EEG. (C) Thirdly, imaging procedures are summarized that focus on brain structures involved in the processing of pain states and belong to the main imaging procedures of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI/fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET). Finally, these different approaches are summarized in a discussion, and some research and methodological suggestions are made as to how this research could be improved in the future.

“…Therapeutic hypnosis can be defined as “a state of focused attention, reduced peripheral awareness, dissociation, and increased response to suggestions.” 3 It is an established non‐pharmacological technique with the power to reduce anxiety and improve a youth's confidence, competence, and connection. Hypnosis can modify the perception of threat, transforming verbal messages into internal visual and auditory images with the activation of the occipital and temporal brain areas 4 . The self‐control is achieved with hypnosis in hospital, using internal coping resources, provides patients with valuable life skills that extend far beyond the acute care setting.…”

Pediatric hypnosis is an extremely valuable adjuvant therapeutic tool to reduce pain and ameliorate anxiety in children undergoing procedures and pediatric anesthesia. This perspective summarises; why Integrating hypnosis into practice has this potential, some techniques that are particularly useful in this setting, the training oppurtunities to learn more, and recommendations for future pediatric anesthesia hypnotic research. There is definite capacity for change by Integrating hypnosis into our practice. Not only will this ensure more capable, confident children who present for peri‐operative care but also reduce costs and the environmental impact of the pharmaceutical agents we currently employ for sedation and anxiolysis.
