World’s First Deep Brain Surgery Using Hypnosis

Hypnotherapy - general

Surgeons have completed the world’s first deep brain surgery using hypnosis instead of an anaesthetic to control the patient’s pain.
Doctors carried out the deep brain stimulation procedure to cure the 73-year-old patient’s severe trembling hands.
In the procedure, the brain regions which are responsible for the tremor were electrically stimulated, causing the tremor to be effectively suppressed so the patient can for example eat and write again undisturbed.
