Hypnotherapy and accupressure for brachial neuralgia
نویسنده
چکیده
Background Pain management is concerned with the reduction of suffering and enhanced quality of life rather than a reduction of pain complaint. Persistent pain may be associated with morbidity such as emotional distress, physical disability, and sleep disturbance. Despite the prevalence of pain in musculoskeletal disorders, effective first line treatments are not without moderate to severe side effects. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of clinical hypnotherapy with acupressure in reducing major unresolved chronic pain; brachial neuralgia.
