[Hypnosis for treatment of nausea and vomiting: it works!].
We report a case of uncontrollable vomits in 76-year-old patient, for which hypnosis was effective. Described vomits became initiated by administration of morphine per os, lasted three months and stood up to usual medication as well attempts of nutrition by ballasted micro-tube. Somatic etiology search was unsucceSsful; the growing significance of hypnosis in the field of anesthesia led to use relational and oriented solution therapy. The situation was rapidly and constantly solved.
