【 摘 要 】

Objectives & Background: Recent studies have shown that alternative non pharmacological approaches have significant effect on pain management. Hypnosis has also been seen effective in pain management including cancer pain. The current study was conducted to assess the effect of novel hypnotic approach, called ‘circle therapy’ on pain due to breast cancer. Methodology: For this study, 60 females suffering from stage 2 breast cancer, undergoing through chemotherapy, were selected by using purposive sampling technique. An intervention plan for breast cancer patients was developed using a hypnosis technique, the ‘circle therapy’. Subjective pain rating scale was used for the pre and post assessment of the pain.Results: Repeated measure ANOVA showed a significant effect of ‘circle therapy’ on pain caused by breast cancer (p < 0.05).Conclusion: On the basis of this current research, it is concluded that hypnosis has significant effect on pain reduction due to breast cancer. This effect is for short duration; however, this positive effect may be prolonged by increasing the number of hypnotic sessions.
