Abstract
recognized although still lacking a sound platform for understanding. Due to this maybe also waiting in line to be discovered by the broad medical community. But recently experience from relevant research certainly has increased our understanding of the mediating and modulating processes between the experience of pain and hypnosis. Contemporary models are now incorporating modulating pain mechanisms at peripheral, spinal and cortical levels. Novel research has been able to demonstrate changes in common brain areas and pathways for the perception and interpretation of sensory signals and pain. Hypnosis may alter specific aspects of pain, anxiety and depession in palliative care, demonstrated in changes of brain activity and measured by advanced brain mapping techniques such as f-MRI and PET.
