Medical Hypnosis
KDWB University Pediatrics Family Center Fax: 612-624-0997 Phone: 612-626-4260 Children and adolescents with chronic medical or emotional conditions often benefit from medical self-hypnosis, which is taught at University of Minnesota Children’s Hospital, Fairview. This therapeutic -approach, based upon the intimate relationship between mind and body, has been recognized in the medical community since the 1950s. Medical self-hypnosis teaches patients how to focus and concentrate, leading to a state of inner relaxation and increased self-control. It is a useful tool for managing mental and physical functions in a variety of situations, from tolerating pain to regulating behavior. Most children and adolescents can learn self-hypnosis – even the very young. For example, if a toddler or preschool aged child can follow nursery rhymes, bedtime stories, or videos, they can learn self-hypnosis techniques with the help of their parent and a trained clinician. Developmental/behavioral pediatricians who have additional specialized training in medical self-hypnosis teach our patients, and the director of our program is board-certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and the American Board of Medical Hypnosis. We work closely with each patient's primary care physician to develop a treatment plan based on the individual child’s needs. Conditions We Treat (Conditions marked with * often respond well to medical self-hypnosis when combined with other medical treatment.)
