Lecture by Dr. Vianney DESCROIX
Medical Hypnosis: What Evidence Supports Its Effectiveness?
Hypnosis receives significant media attention both in entertainment and as a method of
personal development. Its medical use cannot be based merely on a passing craze
or a fad. Indications for pain relief
and sedation must be supported by scientific data and
rigorous evidence validated by a consensus methodology.
This lecture aims to detail the results of clinical studies
that validate the indications for medical hypnosis
in dentistry and oral surgery. It
will thus seek to establish the risk-benefit ratio of this method.
