Abstract:

Hypnosis-based interventions have been used effectively to reduce pain in many medical conditions and surgeries. There is also growing evidence in support of the effectiveness of various non-pharmacological interventions such as hypnosis used in orthopedic surgery. Mind-body interventions in orthopedic surgery usually target pain, stress, and health-related quality of life. Although these interventions seem effective, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. The aim of this systematic review will be to investigate the effect of a hypnosis-based interventions on before and after orthopedic surgery, and to collect the different interventional approaches applied on this field.
Search will be conducted in Pubmed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Dissertations and Thesis database, International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP). Eligible studies are controlled clinical trials using hypnosis to reduce pain, anxiety, and/or to improve quality of life in orthopetic surgery.
This is a work in progress, and results of this study will be presented at the conference. We expect that based on the results we will be able to make conclusions about the usefulness of hypnosis-based interventions for orthopedic procedures.
