创伤性损伤后的疼痛是常见的，可能会损害损伤恢复，并且通常没有得到充分治疗。特别是，持续性非药物镇痛技术的作用尚不清楚。作者报告了一项对21名住院创伤患者进行的随机对照研究，以评估虚拟现实催眠（弗赫）催眠诱导和定制虚拟现实（VR）硬件/软件提供的镇痛建议的镇痛效果。在弗赫（作为标准镇痛护理的辅助治疗）后立即和8小时获得主观疼痛评级，并与无催眠的连续VR和单独的标准护理进行比较。与对照组相比，弗赫患者报告的疼痛强度较低，疼痛不愉快较少。这些初步研究结果表明，弗赫镇痛是一种值得进一步研究的新技术，既可以改善疼痛管理，又可以增加无法获得治疗师提供的催眠和暗示的人群的催眠镇痛可用性。
Pain following traumatic injuries is common, can impair injury recovery and is often inadequately treated. In particular, the role of adjunctive nonpharmacologic analgesic techniques is unclear. The authors report a randomized, controlled study of 21 hospitalized trauma patients to assess the analgesic efficacy of virtual reality hypnosis (VRH)hypnotic induction and analgesic suggestion delivered by customized virtual reality (VR) hardware/software. Subjective pain ratings were obtained immediately and 8 hours after VRH (used as an adjunct to standard analgesic care) and compared to both adjunctive VR without hypnosis and standard care alone. VRH patients reported less pain intensity and less pain unpleasantness compared to control groups. These preliminary findings suggest that VRH analgesia is a novel technology worthy of further study, both to improve pain management and to increase availability of hypnotic analgesia to populations without access to therapist-provided hypnosis and suggestion.
