25. Remote Hypnotic Cognitive Therapy for Chronic SCI Pain: Woo Woo or Worth a Look?
Presented at the SCI Forum September 20, 202
Chronic pain can be a significant problem for individuals with SCI. It is estimated that 68% of people living with SCI have neuropathic pain and/or musculoskeletal pain. Pain is correlated with a lower quality of life (more depression, sleep disturbance, physical dysfunction, etc.). In this presentation, Charles H. Bombardier, PhD, Rehabilitation Psychologist and Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine, will discuss pain and his recent research on delivering remote hypnotic cognitive therapy. He will address what pain is, the biopsychosocial model, why nonpharmacological (non-medication) treatments are needed, and the results of this recent research project to treat pain from a distance.
