Secondary Diurnal Enuresis Treated with Hypnosis:A Time-Series Design

Abstract

A case of secondary diurnal enuresis (SDE) after a car accident was treated with hypnosis by means of the Hypnotic Trauma Narrative, an instrument created by the authors for use with children who have been exposed to traumatic events and develop either classic symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder or manifest other psychosomatic symptoms. An ABAB time-series design with multiple replications was employed to measure the relationship of the hypnotic treatment to the dependent measure: episodes of diurnal incontinence. The findings indicated a statistically significant relationship between the degree of change from phase to phase and the treatment. Hypnosis with the Hypnotic Trauma Narrative was deemed efficacious as a method for the treatment of secondary diurnal enuresis. The patient was symptom-free at follow-up 6 months later.

The Effectiveness of Hypnosis in Reducing Pain and Suffering Among Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer and Among Women With Temporomandibular Disorder

“…Both conditions consisted of four individual 1-hour sessions with a take-home compact disc and instructions to practice during the week. Those assigned to the hypnosis intervention were administered the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility to track whether symptom improvement is associated with hypnotizability (Iglesias & Iglesias, 2008;Lichtenberg, Shapira, Kalish, & Abramowitz, 2009;Nash et al, 2009;Oneal, Patterson, Soltani, Teeley, & Jensen, 2008;Pyun & Kim, 2008;Raz, 2008;Wagstaff, Cole, & Brunas-Wagstaff, 2008;Whitehead, Noller, & Sheehan, 2008;Xu & Cardeña, 2008;Yard, DuHamel, & Galynker, 2008). The authors include a host of measures to detect changes in cognition and coping strategies sometimes associated with hypnotic interventions (Karlin, Hill, & Messer, 2008;Nathanson, 2009;Pekala et al, 2008;Pyun & Kim, 2009;Robertson, 2009aRobertson, , 2009bSala et al, 2008;Szendi et al, 2009;Tschugguel & Hunter, 2008).…”

“…Areas of effectiveness include the following: cardiology (Akgul et al, 2016); asthma (Brown, 2007;Hackman et al, 2000;Sutanto et al, 2016); pain in areas such as non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) (Jones et al, 2005;Palsson & Whitehead, 2006), chronic pain (Jensen et al, 2010), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (also known as motor neurone disease MND or Lou Gehrig's disease) (Palmieri et al, 2012), migraine (Tastan & Turan, 2018;headaches (Hammond, 2007), multiple sclerosis (MS) (Dane, 1996;Elkins et al, 2012;Hosseinzadega et al, 2017); dental care (Clarke & Reynolds, 1991;De Jongh et al, 2005;Eitner et al, 2011;Fabian & Fabian, 1998); diabetes (Pilkington et al, 2007;Xu & Cardena, 2007); irritable bowel syndrome (Gonsalkorale, 2006;Gonsalkorale et al, 2002Gonsalkorale et al, , 2005Vlieger et al, 2007;Wilson et al, 2006); immunodeficiency (Setyadi et al, 2016;Solloway, 2004); oncology (Neron & Stephenson, 2007;Richardson et al, 2006Richardson et al, , 2007Syrjala et al, 1992); urology (Freeman & Baxby, 1982;Iglesias & Iglesias, 2008;Kandyba & Binik, 2003;); obstetrics and gynae (Brown & Hammond, 2007); and psycho-anaesthesia (Montgomery et al, 2000).…”

“…Despite having persistent pain during intercourse for 3 years with several partners, she experienced no more pain following treatment, and remained pain free at a 12-month follow up. Iglesias and Iglesias (2008) also carried out a case study on a patient with secondary diurnal enuresis following a road traffic accident and who was treated with hypnosis using the Hypnotic Trauma Narrative (traditionally used with children who have vicarious trauma, symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder or psychosomatic symptoms). Findings showed a statistically significant relationship between the degree of change from phase to phase and the treatment.…”
