Invited talk by Audrey Vanhaudenhuyse
(University Hospital of Liege and Sensation & Perception Research Group - GIGA)
Can we integrate non-ordinary states of consciousness in the clinical care of patients?
Venue: Sofia University, New Conference Hall
Abstract
In our presentation, we will discuss behavioral, neuroimaging and electrophysiological studies conducted at the University Hospital and University of Liège (Belgium) on hypnosis and other non-ordinary states of consciousness as a tool, for example, to modulate brain responses to pain perception. In parallel to these neuroimaging researches, we currently develop clinical studies and show benefits of approaches based on non-ordinary states of consciousness such as hypnosis in chronic health problems. We showed, among other results that hypnosis combined with self-care learning is associated with patients' evolution (suffering from chronic pain or a cancer) of coping strategies from passive to active, allowing them to reduce pain perception, emotional distress and fatigue, and improve their global impression of treatment effectiveness.
