Summary
Hypnosis can effectively manage pain and anxiety during non-operating room anesthesia (NORA) procedures, reducing the need for sedatives. This case study shows patient comfort and satisfaction with hypnosis during a thyroid ablation.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Medical Hypnosis
Background:
- Non-operating room anesthesia (NORA) is a growing field requiring specialized provider knowledge.
- Minimally invasive procedures in NORA settings often necessitate sedation, leading to patient discomfort like pain and anxiety.
- Hypnosis is increasingly utilized in medical practice, especially for minimally invasive procedures, to mitigate patient distress.
