Clinical Case Series on Hypnoanalgesia: Applications in Medical and Psychological Practice (Volume 3)

This publication presents a clinical case series of 30 unique cases demonstrating the application of hypnoanalgesia and psycho-emotional techniques for pain modulation and anxiety reduction across a wide range of medical, psychological, and dental contexts. The cases were developed by course participants in Sofia, Bulgaria, between April and June 2026. The collection spans diverse clinical domains, including dentistry (anxiety, needle phobia, hemophobia, fear of pain), neurology (chronic headache, tension-type headache, migraine, post-viral pain, chronic cervical and lumbar pain), obstetrics and gynecology (postpartum mastalgia, premenstrual syndrome, childbirth preparation, IVF preparation), orthopedics and trauma (joint injuries, fractures, tendinopathies, sports-related pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis), pediatrics (urological procedures), oncology (pain in remission), psychosomatic medicine (emotionally mediated pain, performance anxiety), and self-help/remote interventions. Each case is documented using a standardized framework, including patient background, clinical presentation, intervention goals, hypnotic protocol, real-time outcomes, and short-term follow-up. Across the presented cases, hypnoanalgesia was associated with substantial reductions in pain intensity (frequently 50–100%), anxiety, and physiological stress responses. In many instances, medical and dental procedures were successfully performed without pharmacological analgesia or sedation, and remote and self-hypnosis techniques demonstrated particular utility. No adverse effects were reported. This case series provides practice-based evidence supporting hypnoanalgesia as a safe, effective, and reproducible adjunct or alternative to conventional pain management approaches.
