Summary
A new hypnotic suggestibility scale for Turkish adults, the Tastan Suggestibility Scale, was developed and validated. It is reliable, quick to administer, and correlates well with the Stanford Hypnotic Clinic Scale.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Clinical Hypnosis
Background:
- Hypnotic suggestibility assessment is crucial in clinical hypnosis.
- Existing scales may not be suitable for all linguistic or cultural groups.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a new, quick, and convenient hypnotic suggestibility scale for Turkish-speaking adults.
- To assess the reliability and validity of the Tastan Suggestibility Scale.
Main Methods:
- A panel of 15 experts contributed to scale development.
- The scale was pilot-tested and refined to four suggestion templates.
- The Tastan Suggestibility Scale was administered to 61 adults and compared with the Stanford Hypnotic Clinic Scale.
Main Results:
- The Tastan Suggestibility Scale demonstrated good reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.53).
- A high correlation was found between the Tastan Suggestibility Scale and the Stanford Hypnotic Clinic Scale (p<0.001).
- The average administration time for the scale was approximately 5 minutes.
Conclusions:
- The Tastan Suggestibility Scale is a new, reliable, and rapidly applicable tool for assessing hypnotic suggestibility.
- This scale offers a convenient option for Turkish-speaking populations in clinical and research settings.

We present a protocol for concurrent collection of EEG/fMRI data, and synchronized MR clock signal recording. We demonstrate this method using a unique paradigm whereby subjects receive ‘cold glove’ instructions during scanning, and EEG/fMRI data are recorded along with hand temperature measurements both before and after hypnotic...

01:23Sedatives and Hypnotics: Overview
1.4K
Sedatives are drugs that alleviate anxiety, while hypnotics induce sleep. Both classes of medication suppress neuronal activity, leading to a calming effect for sedatives and facilitating sleep for hypnotics.
Sedative-hypnotics are categorized into barbiturates, benzodiazepines (BZDs), and non-benzodiazepines or Z-drugs. These drugs work by suppressing central nervous system activity, and this suppression is dose-dependent. Older sedative medications, like barbiturates, follow a linear curve in...

Sedatives and hypnotics encompass a drug class that acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to alleviate anxiety, promote relaxation and induce sleep.These drugs function by amplifying the actions of the neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), resulting in reduced neuronal activity. Barbiturates, a subset of sedatives and hypnotics first synthesized in the late 1800s, are categorized into ultra-short, short, intermediate, and long-acting groups based on their duration of effect.

Benzodiazepines have both sedative and hypnotic properties. They include compounds such as diazepam (Valium) and alprazolam (Xanax). Structurally, their cores are similar, consisting of the fusion of a benzene ring and a diazepine ring, but they share a common mechanism of action in the central nervous system (CNS).
Benzodiazepines work by enhancing the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. They bind to the GABAA receptor, increasing its affinity for GABA, which opens chloride...

In vitro dissolution and drug release tests assess how quickly and how much of a drug is released from its dosage form into an aqueous medium under standardized laboratory conditions. These tests are essential tools in pharmaceutical development and quality assurance, offering insight into the drug's performance before clinical use.During formulation development, dissolution testing identifies incomplete or inconsistent drug release issues. It also supports decisions on selecting the optimal...
