Hypnosis for Burns

Hypnosis for burns.  The Use of Hypnosis in the Treatment of Burn Patients.  “Hypnosis has a part to play in nearly every aspect of burn care, from the initial visit through tubbing and grafting, and finally to rehabilitation.  Early hypnosis attenuates the inflammatory response to the injury, limiting the usual progression of the burn from first degree to second degree, or from second to third.  Procedural pain can be controlled.  Guilt or anger about the accident need to be alleviated, caloric intake can be increased, and active participation in physical therapy can be enhanced.”
