Event Abstract Back to Event Behavioral Neuromodulation : Hypnosis Audrey Vanhaudenhuyse1, Olivia Gosseries2, Marie-Aurélie Bruno2, Athena Demertzi2, Steven Laureys2 and Marie-Elisabeth Faymonville1* 1 University Hospital of Liege (CHU), Algology and Palliative Care, Belgium 2 Cyclotron Research Center, University of Liège, Coma Science Group, Belgium We will present behavioral, neuroimaging and electrophysiological studies of hypnosis as a state, as well as hypnosis as a tool to modulate brain responses to painful stimulations. Studies have shown that hypnotic processes modify self-awareness (internal) as well as environmental awareness (external) brain networks. Brain mechanisms underlying the modulation of pain perception under hypnotic conditions involve cortical as well as subcortical areas including anterior cingulate and prefrontal cortices, basal ganglia and thalami. In addition, clinical studies showed that hypnosedation is associated with improved peri- and postoperative comfort of patients and surgeons. Finally, we recently showed the larger clinical impact of self-hypnosis/self-care learning treatment, as compared to physiotherapy and/or psycho-education, in the treatment of patients with chronic pain.
