Comparison the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Hypnotherapy on Resiliency and sleep quality of women with Fibromyalgia syndrome

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy (CBH) on resilience and sleep quality in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome in Gorgan. In this study, single-subject designs (A-B-A) were used. The statistical population includes all women with fibromyalgia syndrome who have referred to medical centers in Gorgan. According to the present research design, 9 references were used. Of these, 3 patients received cognitive-behavioral therapy and 3 patients received cognitive behavioral hypnotherapy. 3 patients were included in the control group. In order to collect data, Connor & Davidsonchr('39')s (2003) Resiliency Questionnaire and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire (Boyce, 1989) were used. Therapeutic interventions for experimental groups were held for 8 sessions, the control group did not receive any dermatological interventions. To analyze the data, graph analysis methods, stable change index, clinical significance, recovery percentage were used. According to the obtained results, it can be said that in relation to sleep disorder, was most effective related to cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy with a recovery rate of 61.22 which was significant at the level of rate 0.05 (P<0.05) and in the resilience variable, the most effective was related to cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy with a recovery rate 59/88 which was significant at the level of rate 0.05 (P<0.05). In general, based on the findings, it can be said that both treatments were able to affect the research variables compared to the non-intervention group. Therefore, it is recommended that physicians pay attention to cognitive-behavioral therapies and cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy in the treatment of this syndrome.
