title: Hypnotherapy and acute pain control.
abstract: With the increasing acceptance of various forms of alternative medicine as coping strategies for the stresses and strains of modern life, hypnotherapy is becoming more and more established as an adjunct to orthodox medical practice. Scientific research methods applied to hypnotism, as well as improved communication and education, have done much to raise the image of hypnotherapy generally.
