The Effect of Hypnosis in Fibromyalgia

In the hypnosis group, patients were given hypnosis sessions of approximately 30 minutes each, in groups of three, once a week. In this way, session standardization was achieved. Arm catalepsy was suggested in all patients. The first session was used as hypnosis induction, progressive muscular relaxation and introduction to hypnosis. In the second session, in addition to the first session, self-hypnosis training was given. The second session was applied as the same 3rd session. In these patients, in addition to analgesia suggestions, the feeling of worthlessness was especially studied with the recommendation of a psychiatrist.
