催眠已被证明可以减轻癌症及其治疗的症状和副作用。然而,关于癌症患者在生命末期使用催眠的情况却知之甚少。我们的目标是系统地回顾关于使用催眠来管理临终癌症患者最常见的症状的文献:疲劳、睡眠障碍、疼痛、食欲不振和呼吸困难。从开始到2016年11月7日,搜索了EMBASE、MEDLINE、Cochrane、ousInfo和Scope数据库。没有一项研究符合纳入标准。似乎催眠作为一种改善癌症患者临终时最常见症状的手段,从未经过严格的测试。这一发现令人担忧,因为它强烈表明,最需要帮助的人群在很大程度上被忽视了。然而,明确的未来研究方向可能会对临床产生重大影响。
Hypnosis has been shown to alleviate symptoms and side effects of cancer and its treatment. However, less is known about the use of hypnosis at the end of life in individuals with cancer. Our goal was to systematically review the literature on the use of hypnosis to manage the most common symptoms of end-of-life cancer patients: fatigue, sleep disturbances, pain, appetite loss, and dyspnea. EMBASE, MEDLINE, COCHRANE, PsychINFO, and SCOPUS databases were searched from inception through November 7, 2016. No studies met the inclusion criteria. It appears that hypnosis has never been rigorously tested as a means to ameliorate the most common symptoms in individuals with cancer at the end of their lives. This finding is troubling, as it strongly implies that a population most in need has been largely neglected. However, a clear future research direction is revealed that may have significant clinical impact.
