I'm a 2nd year student and this is my first go at posting a thread, so please bear with me if there has been a previous discussion about this topic.
I was recently talking with an anaesthetist who was explaining how they practice hypnotherapy with some patients undergoing local analgesia, especially on the hand. They suggested that this could easily be transferred to the foot. It has fired my interest for a 3rd year dissertation topic, so I was wondering if anyone practitioners out there have any experience/information.
Sorry Clare, But I recall a student in my year named Cath Terry, and she did this study (on the lower limb) and the results were interesting. It was published in the BJPM February 1998, pps 33-40.
"The Utilisation of hypnosis to produce anaesthesia in one lower limb"
Sorry to disappoint you.
Regards
