“…In his book Mesmerism in India, and its Practical Applications in Surgery and Medicine , published in 1846 (and quoted by Hammond ), Esdale reported a detailed description of over 300 major surgical operations performed under hypnosis as the only form of anaesthesia. Hypnosis was later abandoned, following the introduction of general anaesthetics (chloroform, ether and nitrous oxide), and only a handful of operations performed under hypnosis or self‐hypnosis have been reported since the 1950s .…”

Hypnosis as sole anaesthesia for skin tumour removal in a patient with multiple chemical sensitivity

Summary A female patient with multiple chemical sensitivity and previous anaphylactoid reactions to local anaesthetics was admitted for removal of a thigh skin tumour under hypnosis as sole anaesthesia. The hypnotic protocol included hypnotic focused analgesia and a pre‐operative pain threshold test. After inducing hypnosis, a wide excision was performed, preserving the deep fascia, and the tumour was removed; the patient's heart rate and blood pressure did not increase during the procedure. When the patient was de‐hypnotised, she reported no pain and was discharged immediately. Our case confirms the efficacy of hypnosis and demonstrates that it may be valuable as a sole anaesthetic method in selected cases. Hypnosis can prevent pain perception and surgical stress as a whole, comparing well with anaesthetic drugs.

“…Hypnosis is a technique that can change phenomenological aspects, relieve pain, reduce anxiety and depression, increase comfort, and can be used as analgesics during pre and postsurgery. [2][3][4]. Hypnosis can be used to treat pain at the perioperative stage in various types of surgery [5], such as cardiac surgery [2], cataract surgery [4], liposuction surgery [3], endocrine surgery [6], breast surgery [7], musculoskeletal surgery [8] and so on.…”

Surgery is a medical procedure that can cause perioperative pain. Pain in the perioperative phase that received by the patient can cause various complications. Hypnosis is a part of complementary and alternative therapies that are able to cope with pain. The purpose of the review is to perform a systematic review of the literature. Hypnosis is a part of complementary and alternative therapies that are able to cope with pain in surgery. A comprehensive article search through EBSCO, PROQUEST, and Scopus, the original article was sought in the period of publication between 1999 and 2019. The original articles reported on the effectiveness of hypnosis with surgical patient inclusion criteria. A total of 1994 studies have been identified in the literature search. However, only 27 studies were eligible for analysis in this study. The instruments used were visual analogue scale and numeric rating scale questionnaire were used to identify the level of pain in the study. The outcome revealed that hypnosis can decrease level of pain in each perioperative phase significantly. Further research needs to be done to add strong evidence about the use of hypnosis for perioperative pain management.

Hypnosis as Sole Anesthesia for Major Surgeries: Historical & Contemporary Perspectives

Hypnosis is a well validated treatment for acute and chronic pain (Montgomery, DuHamel, & Redd, 2000). It has been found capable of reducing inflammation, altering blood flow, and producing beneficial effects when hypnotic suggestions are provided during and prior to surgery (Frederick, 2001) and other painful medical procedures. This paper quotes extensively from historical examples of the use of hypnosis (mesmerism) as the sole anesthesia for major surgeries in the 1800's. These historic examples by themselves provide powerful documentation of the ability of the mind to influence the body, but they are then followed by a review of contemporary literature and controlled research on the use in hypnosis in relation to surgery and prior to medical procedures.
