Abstract:

For surgery of tumors close to eloquent areas of the brain or for deep brain stimulation to treat Morbus Parkinson patients have to stay awake during brain surgery for intraoperative testing. A method is described using cranial nerve blocks, accompaniment and hypnotic communication instead of analgetic and sedative drugs. The therapeutic communication is based on the patient`s natural trance-state, avoidance of negative suggestions, dissociation to a safe place, utilization of patient`s responses, reframing of noises and sensations, and verbal and nonverbal positive suggestions. Stimulating the patient`s abilities and resources leads to creative collaboration and affirmative self-confidence. Pictures and video-clips demonstrate the efficacy of the procedure. Advantages of hypnotic communication versus hypnosis in this indication are discussed.
