“…Intervention studies may test whether increasing aspects of mindfulness increases rational thinking, and whether increasing rational thinking decreases dental anxiety. Previous research on how to alleviate dental anxiety has examined medical interventions and psychological interventions such as cognitive behavior therapy 9 , 25 , hypnosis 18 , desensitization therapy 19 , etc. Our results suggest that mindfulness training may potentially help alleviate patients’ dental anxiety.…”

Dental anxiety causes people to postpone or refuse to go to the dentist, which further negatively impacts their quality of life and public health. Previous research has shown that mindfulness is inversely related to anxiety. However, little is known about the relationship between mindfulness and dental anxiety. The current research aimed to explore the relationship between mindfulness and dental anxiety and investigate the mediating role of rational thinking. Two studies were conducted. In study one, 206 Chinese participants completed questionnaires measuring trait mindfulness and dental anxiety (state, responding to a dental treatment scenario). In study two, 394 participants completed questionnaires measuring trait mindfulness, dental anxiety (trait), and rational thinking. The results for both studies showed that mindfulness is negatively correlated with dental anxiety. In study 1, each facet of mindfulness except Non-judging was negatively correlated with dental anxiety with Acting with Awareness having the strongest correlation, while in study 2, only Acting with Awareness was significantly negatively correlated with dental anxiety. Furthermore, rational thinking mediated the effect of mindfulness on dental anxiety. In conclusion, mindfulness is negatively related to both state and trait dental anxiety, and rational thinking mediates the relationship between mindfulness and dental anxiety. Implications of these findings are discussed.

“…The study population was all the people who filled the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) questionnaire. 5 MDAS is a simplified 5-point scale answering scheme, ranging from not anxious to extremely anxious. 8 The modified dental anxiety scale (MDAS) contained 5 multiple-choice items including 1 If you went to your dentist for treatment tomorrow, how would you feel; 2 If you were sitting in the waiting room, how would you feel; 3 If you were about to have a tooth drilled, how would you feel; 4 If you were about to have your teeth scaled and polished, how would you feel and 5 If you were about to have a local anesthetic injection in your gum, how would you feel?…”

Introduction: Dental hypnosis monitoring device is an innovative device due to the Student Creativity Program Universitas Padjadjaran. The device can monitor a patient's consciousness by monitoring the brain wave level so that dentists can determine what steps to take when handling a patient. The effectiveness of this device has not been tested yet. This study was aimed to determine the effectiveness of the dental hypnosis monitoring device. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted on this study population, all the patients of Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital (RSGM Unpad) who filled out the MDAS questionnaire. The sample criteria were people with moderate to high MDAS score and aged 17 years or above. Twenty-four people were obtained through consecutive sampling in one day. The study was held at Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital by comparing the dental hypnosis monitoring device's performance with opinion from the dental hypnosis expert. Results: The overall success rate for the dental hypnosis monitoring device's effectiveness was 100% since the LED was always lit green during the hypnosis session, which was following the dental hypnosis expert assessment during processes. Conclusion: The effectiveness of the dental hypnosis monitoring device was proven to be 100% effective.

“…Hypnosis is becoming more and more employed in clinical practice and in research (Stewart, 2005;Häuser, Hagl, Schmierer, & Hansen, 2016;Griffiths, 2017;Iserson, 2014). Although self-hypnosis is possible and used, especially in pain control (Beevi, Low, & Hassan, 2017;Hosseinzadegan, Radfar, Shafiee-Kandjani, & Sheikh, 2017), it is known that the guide of a hypnotist in a setting of hypnotism allows a deeper and more effective state of trance (Casiglia, 2015).…”

The means by which information can be transmitted in hypnosis are debated. Aim of this pilot study was to induce and maintain hypnosis without the hypnotist and the subject being in the same room. In other words, we wanted to clarify, using measurable outcomes, if the hypnotic message could be conveyed through an electronic device. We studied 6 young healthy highly hypnotizable volunteers. After a session aimed at creating the rapport, each participant underwent an experimental session consisting in the execution of a cold pressor test (CTP) in basal awake condition, during hypnotic focused analgesia in the presence of the hypnotist (HFA-P) and during hypnotic focused analgesia suggested via transceiver (HFA-R). Cardiovascular monitoring was performed throughout the session. Perceived pain intensity and hemodynamic parameters during the CPT (baseline, 1 st minute, end of the test) in the three phases of the experimental session were compared with paired t-test. During both HFA-P and HFA-R, perceived pain was nullified. The times of permanence in icy water significantly increased in comparison to non-hypnotic condition by 369.2% in HFA-P and by 394.3% in HFA-R. The systolic blood pressure × heart rate product increased in non-hypnotic conditions (+27.8%, p < 0.01, at the 1 st minute; +35.3%, p = 0.01, at the end) but not during HFA-P (−1% and −0.2%, NS) or HFA-R (+7.3% and −1.6%, NS). In conclusion, hypnosis induced and maintained via transceiver was equivalent to that in the presence of the hypnotist. The hypnotic information therefore turned out to be more important than the means chosen to transmit it.

The role of hypnotherapy in evidence‐based clinical practice

Abstract: The purpose of this review was to discuss the place of hypnotherapy in a modern medical world dominated by so-called evidence-based clinical practice. Hypnosis is an easily learned technique that is a valuable adjuvant to many medical, dental and psychological interventions.
