“Hypnosis in Contemporary Medicine.” James H. Stewart; from the Department of Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Diseases, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Jacksonville, Florida, abstract from Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Hypnosis became popular as a treatment for medical conditions in the late 1700’s when effective pharmaceutical and surgical treatments were limited. To determine whether hypnosis has a role in contemporary medicine, relevant trials and a few case reports were reviewed. Despite substantial variation in techniques among the numerous reports, patients treated with hypnosis experienced substantial benefits for many medical conditions. An expanded role for hypnosis and a larger study of techniques appear to be indicated.

“Hypnosis Works.” “The Power of trance can no longer be disputed, a psychiatrist at Stanford University says. Now we just have to use it.” Discover, Vol 25, no 11, November 2004, Mind and Brain, an article about Elvira Lang, a radiologist, and David Spiegel, a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine who have done extensive studies of hypnosis in the operating room.

“You will now feel Better.” Letters, Discover, December 2004: “As a surgeon who has used hypnotic
techniques with patients, I heartily support psychiatrist David Spiegel’s findings (“Hypnosis Works,” November). I think that studies of the brain both under anesthesia and under hypnosis would show many similarities. I have been able to correct cardiac arrythmias, bleeding, rapid pulse rates and other physiological problems by talking to anesthetized patients in a therapeutic way during surgical procedures and by using similar techniques preoperatively. Surgeons have also done major abdominal surgery on patients under hypnosis alone. Hypnotic and communication techniques can create positive results. The placebo effect is, in essence, a positive result of communication. I have had children go to sleep as they entered the operating room because I told them they would, and some have resisted hair loss from chemotherapy because we relabeled their vitamins ‘hair growing pills.’ Just as we can heal with a scalpel, we can heal with words.”—Bernie Siegel, Woodbridge, Connecticut
