This study was designed to evaluate the effects on hand catalepsy on parasympathetic tone assessed using Analgesia/Nociception Index (ANI) and on subjective rating of absorption, dissociation, and time perception among healthy volunteers. This was a randomized controlled trial including participants to a medical hypnosis congress in France. Ninety volunteers were randomized in two arms, all receiving a fifteen-minute positive hypnotic trance, with or without hand catalepsy.

- - The study aimed to investigate whether using videolaryngoscopy (specifically the McGrath Mac) improves the practice and ease of tracheal intubation compared to traditional methods.
- - In a randomized trial with 300 patients (271 randomized and 256 analyzed), results showed no significant reduction in the need for assistance during intubation in the video group (36.1%) compared to the no-video group (45.5%), but the video group had better glottic opening scores and overall ease of intubation ratings.
- - Despite some improvements noted in secondary outcomes, including ease of intubation and glottic visibility, the overall requirement for assistance and intubation difficulty were similar between the
This study assessed whether a focal glove hypnotic hand anesthesia induced thermal changes within the area of hypnotic protection. Skin temperature of hands, wrists, and forearms was continuously recorded bilaterally using infrared thermography in 30 volunteers. Thermal recordings were obtained prior to, after glove building, and after its withdrawal, with the contralateral upper limb serving as control side.

The Analgesia/Nociception Index (ANI) is derived from heart rate variability and represents the relative parasympathetic tone. We investigated the effects of hypnosis on ANI in healthy volunteers.

A group of 155 women received interventions that included either (a) patient rocking, gentle touching, and hypnotic communication or (b) patient rocking, gentle touching, and standard communication. The authors found that the hypnotic communication intervention was more effective than the standard communication intervention for reducing both pain intensity and fear.
