潮热对许多乳腺癌幸存者来说是一个严重的问题，它会导致不适、失眠、焦虑和生活质量下降。在过去，治疗潮热的标准方法是激素替代疗法。然而，最近的研究发现，接受激素替代疗法的女性患乳腺癌的风险增加。因此，许多更年期妇女和乳腺癌幸存者拒绝激素替代疗法，许多妇女希望非药物治疗。在这篇重要的综述中，我们评估了催眠在减少潮热的频率和强度方面的潜在用途。我们的结论是，催眠是一种身心干预，可能对治疗潮热有显著的好处，其他好处可能包括减少焦虑和改善睡眠。此外，催眠可能是一种首选的治疗方法，因为它的副作用很少，而且许多妇女更喜欢非激素治疗。包括两个案例研究，以说明催眠潮热。然而，这种干预还没有得到充分的研究。我们讨论一项美国国立卫生研究院资助的随机临床试验，催眠治疗乳腺癌幸存者潮热，目前正在进行。
Hot flashes are a significant problem for many breast cancer survivors and can cause discomfort, insomnia, anxiety, and decreased quality of life. In the past, the standard treatment for hot flashes has been hormone replacement therapy. However, recent research has found an increased risk of breast cancer in women receiving hormone replacement therapy. As a result, many menopausal women and breast cancer survivors reject hormone replacement therapy and many women want non-pharmacological treatment. In this critical review we assess the potential use of hypnosis in reducing the frequency and intensity of hot flashes. We conclude that hypnosis is a mind-body intervention that may be of significant benefit in treatment of hot flashes and other benefits may include reduced anxiety and improved sleep. Further, hypnosis may be a preferred treatment because of the few side-effects and the preference of many women for a non-hormonal therapy. Two case studies are included to illustrate hypnosis for hot flashes. However this intervention has not been adequately studied. We discuss an NIH-funded randomized clinical trial of hypnosis for hot flashes in breast cancer survivors that is presently being conducted.
