Hypnosis for management of claustrophobia in magnetic resonance imaging* Hipnose para controle de claustrofobia em exames de ressonância magnética

چکیده
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of hypnosis for management of claustrophobia in patients submitted to magnetic resonance imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty claustrophobic patients referred for magnetic resonance imaging under sedation were submitted to hypnosis using the Braid technique. The patients susceptible to hypnosis were submitted to magnetic resonance imaging under hypnotic trance without using sedative drugs. RESULTS: Out of the sample, 18 (90%) patients were susceptible to the technique. Of the 16 hypnotizable subjects who were submitted to magnetic resonance imaging, 15 (93.8%) could complete the examination under hypnotic trance, with no sign of claustrophobia and without need of sedative drugs. CONCLUSION: Hypnosis is an alternative to anesthetic sedation for claustrophobic patients who must undergo magnetic resonance imaging.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a non-invasive technique useful both in research and neuroclinical evaluation. It relies on the same physical principles of magnetic resonance imaging providing information on chemical compounds in vivo. MRS uses the magnetic properties of several nuclei such as 13C, 31P and 19F, although the 1H is the most common due to its abundance and magnetic resona...

Introduction The vast majority of the neuroimaging techniques currently available for clinical purpose imply the use of either X-rays or the Magnetic Resonance (MR) principle. Hence, based on the differences in the attenuation of the x-rays emitted by the CT scanner or in the differences of tissue response to the MR radiofrequency pulses, it is possible to distinguish normal comDiffusion MRI st...
