The bleeder's disease, also known as Hemophilia, is regarded as bleeding occurrences which have been connected anecdotally with psychological stress. The impact of emotional stress on the beginning and control of bleeding episodes is a fact that is well known. One common cause of extreme states of anxiety in hemophiliacs are oral surgical procedures. Anxiety is one condition that has been shown to start off and/or worsen a prevailing hemorrhagic occurrence in hemophiliacs. This is a fact associated with adults as well as children.
When applicable, hypnosis has been found to be a very great coadjutor for anxiety control. Observations have pointed out that when a hemophiliac is tranquil and relaxed, …show more content…
Patient’s level of anxiety before aesthesia and hypnosis was determined using the Spielerger State Trait Anxiety Inventory. Pain was recorded using the visual analogue scale (VAS).
After surgery, the patients were asked to bite down on a sterile gauze pad placed over the surgical site for thirty minutes, while hemorrhage from the area was evaluated. The patient was discharged if there was no hemorrhage. If the hemorrhage persevered, the gauze pad was left over the surgical site for another thirty minutes and was re-evaluated. After the extra thirty minutes, any active oozing from the affected area was considered to be hemorrhage.
Pain, anxiety, and hemorrhage were compared between two different groups. Wilcoxon's signed rank test, using the SPSS 18 statistical software, as well as McNemar's test and the t-test, were used to analyze the …show more content…
To collect data on the effect hypnosis has on maxillofacial and oral surgeries, more studies are necessary.
EFFECTS OF SELF HYPNOSIS ON HEMOPHILIA
ABSTRACT
The point of focus of the present case-study was to study the hypothetical utility of a full self-hypnosis program to reduce stress and to evaluate the amount of clotting factor exercised for bleeding by those people trained in the procedure of self-hypnosis against a control group.
Thirty individuals experiencing severe hemophilia on home therapy were assigned to a treatment, randomly, or to a control group’s waiting list. The treatment group got a comprehensive training for six weeks including self-hypnosis, education, deep relaxation, and support. Over the follow up that was done for 18 weeks, the treatment group reduced the quantity of factor concentrate exercised to control bleeding when compared to the control group.
Also, the general stress level of the treatment group reduced significantly as assessed by a symptom checker. The training was very cost effective, and the result backs the effectiveness of this complete training program to supplement the medical controlling of severe hemophiliacs on a home therapy
