<h3>Background</h3> A major challenge in the management of severely brain-injured patients with altered states consciousness is to estimate their residual perception environment. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate integrity detection one's own name a behaviorally well-documented vegetative state (VS), minimally conscious (MCS), and locked-in syndrome. <h3>Design</h3> We recorded auditory evoked potentials patient's 7 other equiprobable first names 15 brain-damaged patients. <h3>Results</h3>...
Background:The minimally conscious state (MCS) is a recently defined clinical condition; it differs from the persistent vegetative (PVS) by presence of inconsistent, but clearly discernible, behavioral evidence consciousness.Objective: To study auditory processing among patients who are in an MCS, PVS, and healthy control subjects.Methods: By means 15 O-radiolabeled waterpositron emission tomography, we measured changes regional cerebral blood flow induced click stimuli 5 18 controls....
This article summarizes key advances in hypnosis research during the past two decades, including (i) clinical supporting efficacy of for managing a number symptoms and conditions, (ii) role various divisions anterior cingulate prefrontal cortices hypnotic responding, (iii) an emerging finding that high suggestibility is associated with atypical brain connectivity profiles. Key recommendations agenda next decade include laboratory researchers should strongly consider how they assess their...
BACKGROUND Virtual reality and hypnosis are little studied in complex contexts, such as intensive care, where patients need significant physical psychological assistance. OBJECTIVES To compare combine virtual benefits on anxiety pain before after cardiac surgery. DESIGN Prospective randomised controlled clinical trial. SETTING The study was conducted the University Hospital of Liege (Belgium) from October 2018 to January 2020. PATIENTS One hundred (66 ± 11.5 years; 24 women, 76 men) were...
Patients' changing attitudes and beliefs about pain are considered as improvements in the treatment of chronic pain.

Abstract Background Different non-pharmacological techniques, including hypnosis and virtual reality (VR) are currently used as complementary tools in the treatment of anxiety, acute chronic pain. A new technique called (VRH), which encompasses a combination both tools, is regularly although its benefits underlying mechanisms remain unknown to date. With goal improve our understanding VRH effects, it necessary conduct randomised controlled research trials order understand their clinical...
