互补技术和替代医学对对抗疗法的影响正在引起人们的兴趣和研究。为了正确评估这些技术，需要良好的对照研究来证实补充药物疗法的个体所支持的发现。为此，我们在一项前瞻性随机试验中评估了其中一种治疗方法--自我催眠放松技术的作用，以研究其对冠状动脉搭桥术后生活质量的影响。受试者被随机分成对照组或研究组。研究组患者在手术前一晚接受自我催眠放松技巧的培训。对照组未接受此类治疗。然后，患者接受常规的心脏管理和护理。我们研究的主要终点是生活质量，通过情绪量表的概况进行评估。结果显示，冠状动脉旁路手术前一晚接受自我催眠的患者明显比对照组放松(p=0.0317)。在抑郁、愤怒和疲劳方面也有改善的趋势。这项研究证明了自我催眠放松技术在冠状动脉手术中的有益效果。这项研究还确定了终点和可用于评估补充药物疗法的研究设计。这项初步调查的结果令人鼓舞，并表明需要进一步进行良好控制的研究。
The effects of complementary techniques and alternative medicine on allopathic therapies is generating much interest and research. To properly evaluate these techniques, well controlled studies are needed to corroborate the findings espoused by individuals practicing complementary medicine therapies. To this end, we evaluated the role of one of these therapies, self-hypnosis relaxation techniques, in a prospective, randomized trial to study its effects on quality of life after coronary artery bypass surgery. Subjects were randomized to a control group or a study group. Study group patients were taught self-hypnosis relaxation techniques the night prior to surgery. The control group received no such treatment. Patients then underwent routine cardiac management and care. The main endpoint of our study was quality of life, assessed by the Profile of Moods Scale. Results demonstrated that patients undergoing self-hypnosis the night prior to coronary artery bypass surgery were significantly more relaxed than the control group (p = 0.0317). Trends toward improvement were also noted in depression, anger, and fatigue. This study demonstrates the beneficial effects of self-hypnosis relaxation techniques on coronary surgery. This study also identifies endpoints and a study design that can be used to assess complementary medicine therapies. Results of this preliminary investigation are encouraging and demonstrate a need for further well-controlled studies.
