Can Hypnosis Treat Fibromyalgia?

About 5 million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia. The condition is characterized by severe muscle pain, sore tender points and body fatigue. Its onset can be sudden, as in the person who develops fibromyalgia after experiencing a trauma, such as a car accident. It can also be more gradual. Fibromyalgia can go into remission and then appear again. People with Fibro should avoid stress because stress tends to exacerbate the symptoms.
There are many different types of treatments available for fibromyalgia, including prescription medications, acupuncture, water aerobics, hypnotherapy and massage therapy. What works for one person may not work for another.
One might not immediately think of hypnosis as a treatment option, but studies show hypnosis can turn off pain receptors in the brain. That’s something fibro sufferers could really benefit from. Indeed, according to a recent study in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine, where scientists compared the brain imaging scans of 20 women diagnosed with fibro with the scans of 10 healthy women, the Fibro sufferers had pain receptors that were much more active. If we could only shut those pain receptors off? Well, now we know we can..with hypnosis.
In most Fibro sufferers, the stress response is constantly being triggered and the body has simply forgotten how to produce the relaxation response. Hypnosis can help reprogram your mind so that you’re producing the relaxation response much more readily and easily.
