Comme je sais que mes confrères sont friands de ce genre de choses, j’ai sélectionné quelques références d’articles parmi d’autres sur les thèmes les moins évidents…comme les plus reconnus.
La douleur
est sûrement le domaine de reconnaissance le plus évident dans le domaine médical.
Parce que si vous faites hypnosis et pain sur pubmed, vous allez tomber sur plus de 1200 articles dont moins de 10% ne concernent pas l’hypnose dont nous parlons, il est difficile de faire un choix surtout que le plus intéressant n’est pas toujours le plus récent…
Quand même une courte sélection d’articles davantage orientés sur la physiologie ou sous forme de revue. De telles publications foisonnent depuis l’après guerre.

This exploratory, descriptive study, done retrospectively from perinatal medical records, compared childbirth outcomes in one obstetrician’s caseload between 50 women who elected antepartal hypnosis preparation (usually a 5-class series) and 51 who did not. The groups were demographically similar. To achieve similar numbers to the hypnosis group, the control group was randomly selected from the women in the caseload who opted not to take hypnosis preparation, based on characteristics of parity and delivery mode. Prenatal hypnosis preparation resulted in significantly less use of sedatives, analgesia, and regional anesthesia during labor and in higher 1-minute neonatal Apgar scores. Other physiologic and outcome measures did not reveal statistical significance, although some trends were of clinical interest. Well-controlled studies are warranted for clinicians to offer hypnosis more frequently as a pain relief option for childbirth. Additional information provided includes pragmatic, clinical, and cost information about incorporating hypnosis into a physician’s practice.

Hypnose et fonction immunitaire
Un petit exemple de l’impact immunitaire et endocrinien de certaines suggestions hypnotiques.
Hypnosis, differential expression of cytokines by T-cell subsets, and the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis.

This investigation tested the hypothesis that hypnosis can differentially modulate T-cell subsets, and that this effect is mediated by changes in hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) mediators. Seven healthy, highly hypnotizable volunteers participated in three one-day sessions, a baseline and two intervention sessions. Hypnosis intervention entailed a standardized induction, suggestions for ego strengthening and optimally balanced functioning of the immune and neuroendocrine systems, and post-hypnotic suggestions for stress management and continued optimal balance of bodily systems. Blood samples were drawn at five time points between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and were analyzed for T-cell activation and intracellular cytokine expression (Interferon (IFN)-gamma, Interleukin-2, Interleukin-4) and HPA axis mediators (ACTH, cortisol, and beta-endorphin). Following hypnosis intervention, statistically significant immunological effects were noted. Specifically, the proportion of T-cells expressing IFN-gamma (p = .0001) and IL-2 (p = .013) were lower after hypnosis. T-cell activation response to polyclonal stimulation was positively correlated with ACTH (p = .01) and beta-endorphin (p = .001) while IFN-gamma expression was correlated with levels of cortisol (p < .001). Further controlled studies utilizing hypnosis with patients in treatment are warranted in order to examine whether an altered T-cell response can be replicated in the presence of disease.

Ces quelques éléments épars mêlent des études cliniques et fondamentales mettant en évidence l’impact qu’est susceptible d’avoir l’hypnose sur la fonction immunitaire… ça laisse rêveur, mais il y a encore du travail pour passer du rêve à la réalité dans un grand nombre de situations.
