A team of researchers from Stanford University has unveiled groundbreaking findings that may offer relief for individuals suffering from chronic pain.

Scientists at Stanford University have discovered how to use magnetic pulses to more easily induce hypnosis, a fascinating study published in the journal Nature Mental Health purports. To be clear, the method — clunkily dubbed the Stanford Hypnosis Integrated with Functional Connectivity-targeted Transcranial Stimulation, or SHIFT for short — doesn't do the hypnotizing. Instead, SHIFT […]

Researchers at Stanford University in California say they have cracked the code to significantly raise the chance of a patient being hypnotized.

Electrically stimulating part of the brain makes people more susceptible to hypnosis, which has shown promise for treating conditions such as chronic pain

How deeply someone can be hypnotized -; known as hypnotizability -; appears to be a stable trait that changes little throughout adulthood, much like personality and IQ.

Scientists use high-tech brain stimulation to make people more hypnotizable. Stanford Medicine scientists used transcranial magnetic stimulation to temporarily enhance hypnotizability in patients with chronic pain, making them better candidates for hypnotherapy.

Researchers say hypnosis is an effective treatment for many different symptoms and disorders, in particular pain.

An electrical zap to the brain can temporarily render a person more susceptible to hypnosis, a new study shows.

Zapping parts of the brain can make a person more susceptible to hypnosis treatments used to treat addiction, a Stanford study has shown.
