Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aimed to examine the potential feasibility of an online hypnotic intervention for women with persistent pelvic pain. The secondary aim was to explore the effect of the hypnosis intervention on anxiety, depression, pain severity, coping, pain catastrophizing, and pain disability in comparison to a no-intervention control. Twenty women with persistent pelvic pain completed assessment questionnaires and were recruited from a variety of social media sites related to persistent pelvic pain and randomized to either control or hypnotic intervention groups. The intervention group completed a 7-week online hypnotic intervention. Results found a 30% dropout rate and modest compliance (90%-40%) with practice of audio recordings. Comments from the 7 participants who completed the hypnosis intervention indicated it was acceptable. Significant reductions in screening measures of anxiety and depression were found; however, there were no significant effects shown for pain severity, avoidant coping, pain catastrophizing, or pain disability. The intervention is potentially feasible, but further refinement and optimization is needed to increase retention, compliance, and potential effects.

持续性骨盆疼痛妇女在线催眠干预的潜在可行性

摘要本研究旨在检验在线催眠干预对持续性盆腔疼痛女性的潜在可行性。第二个目的是探索与无干预对照相比，催眠干预对焦虑、抑郁、疼痛严重程度、应对、疼痛灾难和疼痛残疾的影响。20名患有持续性骨盆疼痛的女性完成了评估问卷，并从各种与持续性骨盆痛相关的社交媒体网站招募，随机分为对照组或催眠干预组。干预组完成了为期7周的在线催眠干预。结果发现，辍学率为30%，对录音练习的依从性适中（90%-40%）。完成催眠干预的7名参与者的评论表明这是可以接受的。焦虑和抑郁的筛查措施显著减少；然而，在疼痛严重程度、回避应对、疼痛灾难或疼痛残疾方面没有显示出显著的影响。干预措施可能是可行的，但需要进一步完善和优化，以提高保留率、依从性和潜在效果。
