Effectiveness of hypnoanalgesia for dermatological surgery in children: Randomised clinical trial

by

In children, diagnostic or therapeutic procedures may generate pain, fear or anxiety. The aim of this paper is to assess whether hypnosedation in children undergoing dermatological surgery is effective in reducing the doses of sedation and analgesia during the periprocedure. Hypnosis as an adjuvant to sedation in children undergoing major outpatient surgery could reduce the requirements for analgesic drugs during and after surgery.
