1a The Galway Clinic , Doughiska , Ireland.
Abstract:
Migraine is a complex neurological condition that causes a range of symptoms, the most common of which is a severe headache. The aim of this systematic review of the literature is to determine the efficacy of hypnosis in the treatment of migraine. A systematic search of 4 scientific databases was conducted using the primary search terms migraine, headache, hypnosis, and hypnotherapy. A total of 8 studies were identified that examined hypnotic techniques either alone or in combination with other nonpharmaceutical techniques, such as visual imagery, relaxation, and pain-displacement techniques. This study demonstrates that hypnotherapy and relaxation techniques are effective in reducing short- and long-term headache activity in migraine sufferers.
