J Pediatr. 2006 Oct;149(4):563-5. doi: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2006.05.048.

Abstract

Clinical hypnosis is an established part of the comprehensive treatment of numerous problems in ambulatory pediatrics. Two cases illustrate its utility with pediatric inpatients. These cases demonstrate clinical hypnosis as a teachable, practical, and nonpharmacologic intervention that warrants further investigation in the inpatient setting.
