“…The main limitation of the present study was its cross-sectional design, which makes it impossible to establish the directionality of the association between the LOC profiles and the psychological adjustment to chronic pain. Other studies have provided evidence that the LOC can act as both a predictor of long-term state of health (7), and as a moderating (14,25,26) and dependent (27)(28)(29)(30)(31) variable in treatments. In this respect, we believe that, in our study, the relationship between LOC profiles and psychological adjustment to chronic pain must be bidirectional in nature.…”

“…Also, although pain intensity is commonly assessed as the primary outcome variable in hypnotic analgesia studies, with the exception of a very few studies (cf. James, Large, & Beale, 1989; Jensen et al, 2005, 2008), other outcome domains, such as the impact of pain on functioning, are rarely assessed in hypnotic-analgesia research. Thus, little is known about the effects of self-hypnosis training on other key outcome variables.…”

Twenty-two patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and chronic pain we recruited into a quasiexperimental trial comparing the effects of self-hypnosis training (HYP) with progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) on pain intensity and pain interference; 8 received HYP and the remaining 14 participants were randomly assigned to receive either HYP or PMR. HYP-condition participants reported significantly greater pre-to postsession as well as pre-to posttreatment decreases in pain and pain interference than PMR-condition participants, and gains were maintained at 3-month followup. Most of the participants in both conditions reported that they continued to use the skills they learned in treatment and experienced pain relief when they did so. General hypnotizability was not significantly related to treatment outcome, but treatment-outcome expectancy assessed before and after the first session was. The results support the efficacy of self-hypnosis training for the management of chronic pain in persons with MS.Pain is a common and significant problem in many persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). Although the reported rates of pain problems in samples of individuals with MS vary across studies, most surveys report prevalence rates between 40% and 80% (Archibald, McGrath,

“…33 Once interventions have been performed, LOC-I acts as a moderating variable of therapeutic effectiveness in psychological, 34,35 multimodal, 36 physiotherapeutic 22 and alternative 37 treatments. Furthermore, LOC-I has been used as a result variable in different kinds of treatment such as bio-feedback, 38 self-hypnosis, 39 physiotherapy, 40 and especially multidisciplinary [41][42][43] treatments.…”

A Shortened Version of the Headache‐Specific Locus of Control Scale in Spanish Population

(Headache 2010;50:1335‐1345) Background and Objective.— Further questions need to be addressed in the evaluation of locus of control (LOC) in headaches, such as reducing scale length and adapting them to diverse cultural environments, as in the case of Spain. Methods.— We perform a confirmatory factor analysis of the most outstanding items contained in the Headache‐Specific Locus of Control Scale in the responses of 118 patients suffering from headaches who received assistance at public health care centers in the province of Seville (Spain). Results.— The adjustment was positive, thus confirming the original structure of 3 factors: internal locus of control (LOC‐I), health care professionals' LOC, and chance locus of control (LOC‐C). Scale validation was performed by examining associations both with headache clinical parameters and psychological measures. The latter included self‐efficacy, internal language, coping strategies, and pain behaviors. LOC‐C results deserve special mention, supporting the idea that it seems more important to avoid that patients develop LOC‐C rather than boosting LOC‐I and LOC‐P expectations. Conclusions.— The so‐called Headache‐Specific Locus of Control Scale‐Short Form 9 has turned out to be a parsimonious (9 items), valid, and reliable measure of headache LOC.
