Workshop Description:
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a functional pain syndrome characterized by chronic musculoskeletal widespread pain associated with fatigue, non-restorative sleep and cognitive dysfunction (fibrofog).?Recent evidence supports the notion that hypnosis, combined with a standard medical treatment and a daily practice of self-hypnosis, may be a useful and safe adjunct tool to manage chronic pain and associated symptoms as well as disability.
This program will discuss the current research on FMS, the psychologial factors that can predispose to trigger or worsen FMS-symptoms, and the risk factors for the development of FMS. Participants will also learn the ways in which hypnosis may help those with FMS when used in conjunction with standard medical treatment. Specifically, participants will learn how?Indirect (Ericksonian) suggestions and?hypnotherapeutic techniques can help with the pain management associated with FMS.?
Learning Objectives:
After attending this intermediate-level presentation, participants will be able to:
1. Recognize the signs of fibromyalgia syndrome.
2. Apply hypnotherapeutic techniques for pain control.
