ABSTRACT

Introduction: a background on clinical hypnosis, the latest advances and knowledge on the subject, and a physiological theory based on the medical literature are presented. As well as a physiological theory based on the medical literature. Objective: analyze the available information on the clinical functionality of hypnosis in various human pathologies, and thus provide evidence to propose research studies with greater impact, and to determine guidelines to contribute to medical treatments, achieving the inclusion of hypnosis within the study of formal neurosciences. Material and methods: studies were selected that included the use of hypnosis to treat some pathology, no more than five years old, in English and Spanish. The study was elaborated according to PRISMA 20 guidelines. Results: hypnosis has proved to be an effective therapeutic technique in several medical pathologies, proven by imaging and neurosensorial measurement. The first step of the hypnotic technique mechanism begins with the professional, who must transmit the indications to the patient, achieving the hypnotic state, in which the patient reaches a state of relaxation. Clinical areas that have benefited from hypnosis have been described: psychiatry, endocrinology, gynecology, oncology, cardiology. Conclusions: hypnosis provides changes in neuronal activity and alterations in systemic behavior. The most important finding was the contribution to neuroimaging. Since it is possible to identify the activation of specific brain structures in real time during hypnosis, it allows us to have an objective and palpable approach.
