The current research is carried out to compare effectiveness of two methods of Modular CBT and cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy in reducing Iranian children anxiety. Methods: Reynolds- Richmond Revised Childrens Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS) as screening tool and Revised Children Anxiety and Depression Scale of Chorpita was used to compare the results and supporting them among 210 elementary schools in academic year 2010-2011 in third, fourth and fifth grade of girlish elementary school. Sampling method in this research was of random cluster method and among all the students, after the required studies, 32 students recognized with anxiety properties entered the research design divided randomly into 3 groups. In two experimental groups treatment protocols( Modular CognitiveBehavioral Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Hypnotherapy) were performed in individual sessions. After 10 therapy sessions, again Revised Childrens Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS) was used for 3 groups and the results were studied by the repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: According to this, both methods of Modular CBT and cognitivebehavioral hypnotherapy reduced childrens anxiety and this reduction was significant at P < 0.05 in comparison with control group. Cognitive hypnotherapy method reduced more anxiety in comparison with Modular CBT and this difference was significant at P <0.05. Discussion: Considering the major reduction of anxiety by using hypnosis in conjunction with cognitive-behavioral therapy, and the prevalence of anxiety between children, and also the high level of hypnotizability at this age, training hypnotherapy to the practitionars in this field may be suggested.

Bidar M1, Charechahi M2 ,Ghabel NM3 , Hafez B4, Jarahi N

Introduction: In some cases in dentistry, despite an injection of local anesthetic material, the teeth with irreversible pulpitis do not become numb, or the use of common local anesthetic material is contraindicated for the patient. Therefore, in these cases an alternative treatment, especially hypodontia-the use of hypnosis in dentistry-can be introduced. The aim of this study was to determine the success rate of hypnotism in appropriate local anesthesia in root canal therapy (Endodontics). Methods and material:This study was conducted as a clinical trial on male and female volunteer patients, which referred to the department of endodontics of Mashhad Dental School for endodontic treatment of vital teeth with irreversible pulpitis.Examination forms were completed for all the patients. The patients were excluded from the study if they had any other disease. Then, if the patient were satisfied with participation in this study, the consent forms were signed. Finally, 21 patients were recruited. In the presence of the patient's companion, the patient underwent hypnosis and the necessary time to reach suitable numbness was recorded. Next, the patients were conditioned to a key phrase. In the second session, with the use of a key conditioning word, hypnosis was induced more rapidly and the time to reach numbness was again recorded. The numbness was checked and confirmed by one of the professors of endodontic department .If the appropriate numbness existed, the patient underwent endodontic treatment. The results were analyzed by Mann Whitney U test, Fisher's Exact test, and Wilcoxon Sign Rank test. Keywords: hypnotism-anesthesia-root canal therapy

A consideratin to parallels between Hypnosis and transactional Analysis


Afraz SS1
Introduction:In the traditional view Hypnosis and Transactional Analysis

(TA) are considered as fundamentally different approaches to psychotherapy. Nevertheless this article analyses the parallels between Hypnosis and TA. Methods and materials:Methodology of TA is based on analysis of the interactions of the three ego states- Parental, Adult and Child in the context of what TA defines as Script of life. In this method the therapist tries to reform one or some of these states by the help of the client. Reformation of parent is done by a process called re-parenting which is similar to the classical hypnosis techniques. Re-decision therapy is another TA method used for correction of wrong beliefs that are made during the childhood. It is similar to Child inform that is one of the age-regression methods in hypnosis. When a TA therapist wants to work on the Adult state of his client, explains him concepts like discounting, racketing system, drivers and stoppers using these concepts to make a connection with the clients mind. Then he asks some questions that guide the client to the goal that he wants. Similarly in hypnosis the therapist asks some yes-set questions that orient the client to the specific goal. Dissociation, absorption and suggestibility are the main signs of hypnosis . A TA therapist who teaches the basic rules of TA to his client makes his client dissociate from his own thoughts and helps him to change his old beliefs. Also he focuses on analyzing the clients script that makes him absorbed. In addition a client who comes to a therapist and continues his therapy has clear suggestibility from his therapist on his appointments. Conclusion:Regarding these parallels, I suggest that hypnotherapy and psychotherapy by TA methods work based on a common underlying mechanism. Key words: Hypnosis, Transactional analysis

The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)ACT) method in the treatment of drug addiction disorder using hypnotism
Saedy M, Joudi M
Preface: One type of treatment recently developed out of the two older approaches, namely cognitive and behavioral, as the third approach in behavior therapy, is the ACT method (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).This article introduces hypnotism as a facilitator of the ACT method in the treatment of addiction. Introduction:The first step of hypnotism has an overlap with the first step of ACT, and what is common to both is that communication therapy, the evaluation, and identification of the inner releasers of addiction in contrast with the outer releasers. About eight sessions are proposed for work therapy using the present method, which are presented in the form of paradox, metaphors, stories, exercises, behavioral tasks, and experiential processes. The mind-fulness method-i.e. being conscious about thoughts, feelings, and physical senses such as breathing, without judgment and evaluation-which has to be employed at the beginning of each session using ACT method. The mindfulness method has an overlap with the third step of hypnotism, namely focusing and deepening concentration. Values, goals, and obstacles can be argued about after the trance stage in ACT that is when suggestions are presented using metaphors and their results, and the person becomes aware of the uselessness of his fighting with his inner qualities. The exercises can be performed in the form of mental imagination, and behavioural tasks can be assigned after returning to the normal condition. Generally speaking, It can be said that ACT is a type of psychotherapy method in treatment of drug addiction disorder which has developed out of the two methods of behavioural and cognitive therapy introducing a number of changes, and its steps can be carried out to complete the treatment of the client, It should be noted that two or more metaphors have been presented for each of the steps introduced in the ACT treatment method. Conclusion and Suggestion: Considering the functional commonalities of the

two methods discussed above, it is proposed that hypnotism be employed as an ACT-facilitator. Then the improvement of the ACT method can be expected.
Key Words: ACT, Drug Addiction Disorder, Hypnotism

Sohrabi M, Asghari Toie MA
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of relaxation

exercises with selected physical activity on girls mental health.


Methods: For this reason, 60 female students with aging from 18 to 30 participated in this study. They were divided into 4 similar groups. Categories include: relaxation groups (n=15), the group's activities (n=15), Combination group (n=15) and control group (n=15). Experimental groups did exercise for 6 weeks and 2 times a week. But the control group did their routine activities. Mental health of participants before and after the exercise intervention was assessed by General Health Questionnaire (GHQ - 12). The obtained data was analyzed by multivariate of variance (MANOVA) and Bonferronitest. Results: The statistical data show that the positive effects of relaxation training (P<0/0001), positive effects of selected Physical activity (P<0/0001), positive effects of Combined exercises (P<0/0001). Conclusion: This study showed that relaxation training and selected Physical

activity and combined exercises cause to be improving to general health student girls. Although not differences were observed between the three groups, but this study emphasizes the relaxation of role in general health. The employing different methods of relaxation are as an effective and practical aims. So, it is suggested that effect of other relaxation methods with physical activity and also interactivities influences of combination training types would be used.

Rafiwi T, Hadizade Kafash R
Objective: At present, the technology development and industrialization of

societies, events and risks resulting from its past life threatening and causes of psychological pressures that affect most destructive forces of man and society and gives rise to increased problems of human life and destroy. Aggressive youth often do not have the skill and mastery over their behavior and customs and morals of the society in which they live, violate. Parents and school districts often are found with their involvement and their movements are enough to hurt people and damage to numerous complaints from parents and classmates from the university or they lead. The present study was to determine the effectiveness Hypnotrapy on the level of student aggression.
Materials and Methods : The study of semi-experimental design with pretest posttest control group. University students in 1000 divided the population of Maziar Royan 100 people participated, among which 73 had average scores of 50 randomly selected, and the clinical interview, including appropriate quality and hypnosis conditions Ghrblgry character of obsessive - compulsive (on condition that hypnosis is effective), 25 patients in the experimental group and control group were 25 people remaining. Hypnosis treatment for experimental group students was conducted in 6 sessions, and then both groups (control and test) test was performed. Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire was the instrument. Results: After the test run, data were analyzed using ANCOVA. The results showed: Hypnotrapy of 27.7% of the students was effective aggression (p<0.001). And Hypnotrapy of 22.2% female students was effective in reducing aggression (p<0.001)and for the boys, aggression was 30.84% effective in reducing the amount of Hypnotrapy (p<0.001). Hypnotrapy efficacy in reducing aggression in girls and boys groups experiment Hypnotrapy reduce aggression in boys of 1.25% was more effective (p<0.01). Conclusion: Given the significant effect in reducing aggression Hypnvtrapy students, including training for selected courses in universities can Self-Hypnotism as an effective way for young people to achieve national development objectives and most of society's problems, officials and parents in dealing with this reduce youth. Key words:Aggression; Hypnotrapy; Self-Hypnotism.

The role of stress and its uses hypnosis in patients with MI


Rohani SA, Aghasi Zade M
Introduction : Myocardial infarction is one of the most common diagnoses in hosoitalized patients . So because of the importance and high frequency of cardiac diseases and the necessity to prevent these disease , studying about sisk factors and aggravating factors of these diseases and Strategies that can prevent the occurrence of the MI has considerable importance . Methods & Objective: Three questionnaires including the demographic questioaire designed by the researcher , recent life events pycle questionnaire and CS-R ( Coping Strategies Revised ) . Questionaires were filled by 40 hospitalized patients with myocardial infarction and 40 healthy people ( atthf sane age , from the same sex and with the same average cholestrol ) who had not experienced the cardiac disease and the results were analysed with SPSS software .To analyse the coping sterategies and really importantlife events in 40 patients with myocardial infarction and compare them withthe healthy group. Results : Patients with myocardial infarction experienced the same stress or events in their lives to the hralthy group ( P = 0.424 ) . But the average mark of the stressful events in the patients was more than the healthy group ( P< 0.001 ) . Patients with myocardial infarction acted weaker in coping with stressful events comared with the healthy group ( P< 0.001 ) . In nonefective methods we noticed not much difference between the patients and the healthy group ( P = 0.321 ) . Neither did we notice much difference in the concentrated coping methods ( P = 0.518 ) . Conclusion : The researcher suggests that we had better educate the individuals of the society and teach them the concentrated coping methods in order to achieve a successful stress management and to prevent the prevalence of MI in the cociety and self hypnotism as an effective way to obtain peace and freedom from stress and pressure to be pervasive in the educational community.

Hashemian A, Vosoughinia H, Khosravi A, Sawadat Nia H
Introduction: GI endoscopy is one of the most important diagnostic a therapeutic in gastrointestinal problems; however, Patients may suffer from anxiety or fear during this procedure. We consider the effects of music on vital sings before endoscopy under usage of propofol as sedative. Methods: In this experimental study, 200 patients need upper or lower GI endoscopy in Razavi hospital was evaluated. Their age ranges vary between 8 years old to 99. These patients suffer no severe pulmonary or cardiac disease and their chosen were really randomized. They are derided in 2 major groups; the first was under music playing and the other was not. Their vital signs like blood pressure or pulse rate, o2 saturation before and 3-5 minutes after injecting sedative drug (propofol) were examined and some of their demographic features (1 data) were documented. All of these data were analyzed by T test (variance analysis method) and by usage of spss software. Results: patients mean age was 49.1 17.42 years with 49.5 % male and 55.5% female distribution. From these 46.2% were under the first group (music heard_ and 53.8% were music-not heard the other group. Independent-sample T-test parametric methods were used. There was a significant decrease in systolic flood pressure between 2 groups (p=0.003) but no significant differences were observed in Diastolic blood pressure, heart pulse rate and arterial o2 saturation, respectively. Conclusion:Relaxation music can affect systolic blood pressure and decrease it when go up a result of anxiety or fear of GI endoscopy. Key words: music, endoscopy, blood pressure, anxiety

Nonlinear Dynamics Evaluation of Electroencephalogram Signals during Meditation


Goshvarpour Ateke 1, Rahati S 2, Goshvarpour Atefeh 3, Saadatian V4
Introduction: Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a reliable reflection of many physiological factors modulating the brain. The aim of this study is to evaluate nonlinear dynamics of electroencephalogram signals during meditation. Methods: For this purpose, we collected EEG signals of seven female

meditators in two states: before meditation and during meditation. Correlation Dimension, Hurst Exponent and the maximum Lyapunov Exponents were calculated.
Results:The results of this study show that the Correlation Dimension was significantly lower during meditation, as well as the maximum Lyapunov Exponents. This reduction indicates that the number of parallel functional processes active in the brain is less and the brain goes to a more relaxed state. Besides that, the Hurst Exponent is increased during meditation. Conclusions: The finite values of Correlation Dimension and positive values of Lyapunov Exponents suggest that all of EEG signals have low dimensional chaos, and the complexity of signals are decreased during meditation. Keywords: Correlation Dimension, Electroencephalogram, Hurst Exponent,

Lyapunov Exponent, Meditation, Nonlinear Dynamics.

Hypnotizability Changes and Mental Disorders


Sharifi A 1 The relationship between hypnotizability and mental disorders has been the subject of many psychiatric articles in recent decades and this review article try to collect important information about that relationship . The important thing is that , in spite of effectiveness of hypnosis in many medical and psychiatric disorders, there is some risk of exacerbation in many mental disorder following induction of hypnosis, hence, exact diagnosis of such disorders prior to hypnotherapy is essential. This reviw article try to cover items including: Nature of hypnotizability, that is, ability of experiencing Trance following proper suggestions, Biological capacity of hypnosis according to Spigles theory, reversible nature of hypnotizability after recovering from mental disorder, probable mechanisms of losing hypnotizability due to psychotic disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, Attention deficitHyperactivity disorder, Obsessive Compulsive disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. On the other hand, Relation between high hypnotizability and the emergence of Dissociative disorders, Conversion disorder, Post Traumatic Stress disorder(PTSD), are mentioned. And finally , the relation between Culture-Bound Syndromes (previously called CultureBound Psychosis) and high hypnotizability were reviewed.

Structural and functional brain differences in hypnotizable individuals


Bolandghamat S1, Moghimi A

highly

Introduction: There are individual differences in responses to hypnosis .This

study reviews the researches about structural and functional brain differences during hypnotic and non hypnotic conditions in individuals with different hypnotizability degrees.
Methods: Review of published data and articles in the pubmed web using some basic key words such as hypnosis and neuroscience. Findings: MRI studies on corpus callosum showed that highly hypnotizable subjects had a significant larger rostrum (Horton, et al., 2004; Horton & Crawford, 1999) and isthmus than low hypnotizable subjects, also there was a significant positive relationship between this corpus callosum areas and forebrain volumes in highly hypnotizable individuals (Horton & Crawford, 1999). Naish (2009) reported that highly hypnotizable subjects exhibited a faster-acting left hemisphere in the waking state, but faster right hemisphere under hypnosis. EEG studies in highly hypnotizable individuals show increace in alpha density during eye-closed resting condition as compared to low hypnotizable individuals (Nowlis & Rhead, 1968; Barabasz, 1981). In particular, high hypnotizable subjects during waking and hypnosis conditions had greater theta activity at frontal area as compared to low hypnotizable individuals (Deivanayagi, et al., 2007). Crawford (1996) reported significantly smaller N1 and P2 amplitudes (ERP) in highly hypnotizable subjects than low hypnotizable persons and as stimuli intensities increased, N1 latencies decreased for the last subjects while N1 latencies increased for highly hypnotizable subjects. Conclusion: The findings show that hypnosis is a brain state that neuroanatomic and even neurochemical characteristics will affect the hypnotizability and related behaviors. So, we need to understand and study hypnosis that involves special brain structures and functions. Key words: hypnosis, hypnotizability, EEG, MRI, ERP

Solati Dehkordi K1, Aghaei A2,Rahimian GH3,Shahbazi K4 Background and aim: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal disorders that abdominal pain and change in bowel habit which is without any organic causes. Drug therapy and psychotherapy were previously used to increase quality of life and decrease psychological symptoms, in other words there is not agreement about the physical symptoms of IBS. The aim of this study was comparing the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in addition with medication therapy on quality of life and severity frequency with diarrhea predominant IBS Symptoms. Methods: This study is experimental with clinical trial pre-test and post test and follow-up stage in comparing with control group.. The sample consisted of gastrointestinal patients had gone to Kashani and Hajar hospitals clinics and offices of digestion specialists during 3 months. 34 IBS-D patients were randomly selected according to Rome II and Rome III Criteria. Data were collected using following: 1-Quality of life especially irritable bowel syndrome patients (QOL-IBS).2-Bowel Symptoms Severity and Frequency Scale (BSS-FS). by digestive specialists divided into 2 hypnotherapy and medication therapy groups randomly.Easy random test was done to complete groups sample in time span. This research had three stages. The first stage was pre-testing. The second stage was post- testing stage and the last stage was follow up which was six months after post-testing stage. Hypnotherapy for every patient was performed in 5 sessions, lasted 9 months. The collected data were analyzed using Ancova test. Results: Results showed that there was a significant difference between hypnotherapy and medication therapy groups in quality of life in pre-test and post-test stages measurements(P=0.000),IBS symptoms Frequency (P=0.016), IBS symptoms Severity (P=0.005)after test.This difference was not significant in pursuance stage of Frequency (P=0.139) and IBS symptoms Severity (P=0.146). Conclusion:We conclude that medication therapy with hypnotherapy interference can be useful in quality of life improvement and reduction of physical symptoms of IBS patients, but not continuity in these cure types leads to relapse of disease symptoms. Key word: irritable bowel syndrome ,hypnotherapy, medication therapy.

The effect of hypnosis imagery and nonhypnosis on performance of free throw skill in basketball
Teymoori S1, Sohrab M2, Fathi M3, Pasalar F4 , Enferadi M5 , Doosti F Introduction: One of the highly effective psychological techniques in the field of sport is hypnotism. Sport hypnosis is "a method in which trainers, sports psychologists or researchers persuade athletes or subjects to experience a change in feeling, perception, thinking and behavior.Thus, researchers began to examine this question Whether effect hypnosis imagery with non hypnosis is different? Method: Statistical population included female students at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad who had passed General PE course in the first educational semester of 1390-1391. From this population, 45 students with high mental imagery were selected and randomly assigned to three groups, two experimental groups (1and 2) and one control group. The experimental group 1 had 7 minutes of inculcation and mental imagery about sport techniques (free throw basketball) concentration, thinking and relaxation and physical activity in 7 sessions of 30 minutes and the experimental group 2 had 7 minutes of mental imagery in 7 sessions of 30 minutes without trance and with physical activity . The third group, i.e. the control group, performed physical activity during this time. The clarity of subjects mental imagery was homogenized using MIQ-R questionnaire. Results: dependent T-test was used to determine the effect of these exercises on performance of the subjects. Results of within groups showed that hypnosis imagery( 6.66, p< ./001)=(t(14) and non hypnosis( was effected on performance subjects.Also examine differences between groups were tested using one-way analysis of variance,and Results showed that there are significant differences between groups.Tukey post hoc test to locate differences illustrate showed the usefulness of hypnosis imagery compared to other groups. Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that hypnosis imagery and non hypnosis influence the performance of free throw skill in basketball but hypnosis imagery compared to non hypnosis has more influence on performance of free throw skill in basketball. Keywords: hypnosis imagery, mental imagery, performance

Introduction to the Neurophysiology of Hypnosis


Moghadam-Ahmadi A 1, Sharifi-Razavi A2, Omrani L3, Alamdar H
Introduction : Hypnosis has been defined throughout the ages in many different ways, by as many different authors. Hypnosis is not sleep but also differ from waking state. A review of recent neurophysiological evidence deriving from EEG, CT, PET, MRI, and intracranial studies indicates, though, that hypnosis is an individual differences phenomenon, i.e, a state of selective attentional and disattentional processes, with converse physiological responses according to hypnotizability. Results: Although it was considered as a neurologic sleep state, now it is evident that hypnosis and sleep does not have any psychological or neurologic properties in common. In fact, electrical function of the brain in hypnosis is more similar to an awake and aware person, rather than a sleep person. Electroencephalographic (EEG) studies of hypnosis have failed to reveal a clearcut EEG signature to the hypnotic state; however, EEG findings clearly establish that hypnosis is not sleep. The hypnotic state consistently is associated with increased theta activity in high versus low hypnotizables, yet the type and location of theta activity may be more important in hypnotic responding than theta activity per se. Studies of event-related potentials (ERPs) in hypnotic influences on cognitive and perceptual processes have provided more documents in understanding the neurologic basis of hypnosis, and have implicated that hypnotic suggestions for perceptual changes make some variations in brain response to the stimulus in that specific modality. Also, functional imagery studies such as positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have consistently documented significant differences in the brain functioning of high and low hypnotizables, and suggest that hypnotic hallucinations are comparable to actual perceptual events and not simply the product of imagination. Regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) show bilateral increase in occipital lobes, and also in inferior frontal areas, especially in response to hypnotic inductions for decreasing pain. Discussion and Conclusion: Overall, the evidence strongly implicates the role of the frontal/parietal system in hypnotic responding, and particularly the role of

the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) as an explanatory system for many of the phenomenon of hypnosis. Hypnosis is an individual differences phenomenon, i.e., a complex process of attentive receptive focused attention with diminished peripheral awareness, activating an interplay between cortical and subcortical brain dynamics such as both attentional and disattentional processes. High hypnotizables have exceptional attentional filtering and sensory-perceptual gating abilities, so that high hypnotizability may constitute a selective pattern of brain activation/deactivation.

The Effects of Guided Imagery on Pain of Orthopedic Operations in Traumatic Patients


Chamanzari H, Raffe S, Modarres Qeravi M, Ebrahim Zadeh S
Background and Aim: in post-operative period, one of the most important

complaints of the patients is the post- operative pain. Sever orthopedic postoperative pain are completely current due to the nature of operation procedure. Since the usage of anti-pain methods, especially narcotic drugs have lots of side effects, the combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods can be the most effective way of pain relief. One of non- pharmacological methods is the guided imagery; though the evidences of such intervention are little. So the main objective of the present study is to determine the effectiveness of guided imagery on pain of orthopedic operations in traumatic patients.
Methods and Materials: in this clinical trial 74 traumatic patients who needed the orthopedic internal fixation operation were placed in two groups including a control group (37 subjects) and a guided imagery group (37 subjects). The control group just received the routine cares but the guided imagery group received more cares in which they usually listened to guided imagery CD from 3 days prior to their operation to 3 days after the operation for 18 minutes twice a day. The pains of the both groups were assessed by McGill Pain Questionnaire once in each 12 hours, and with the numerical analogue scale once in each 6 hours. After completion, the data were analyzed by Mann-whitney and T test. Results: The data analysis showed that the total score of McGill Pain Questionnaire in guided imagery group had a significant statistical difference in comparison with the control group (p= 0.000); and the pain quality and the pain duration of guided imagery group have had significant statistical difference (p=0.42 and p=0.001 respectively); but there was no significant difference between the two groups in pain intensity (p=0.221). Conclusion:the application of guided imagery since 3 days before the operation to 3 days after the operation twice a day can decrease the total score of the pain and the duration of the pain and the improving the pain quality 3 days after the operation but it had no effect on pain intensity Key Words: Guided Imagery; Post-Operative Pain; Orthopedic Operation;

Mind-body interventions as a treatment for cancer-related fatigue


Anjomrouz M1, Zangouei A2 , HajiRezaei HR, Seydali E
Introduction: fatigue is a subjective experience that affects everybody.It is a

state of general tiredness which is the result of overexertion and can be relieved by rest and sleep. But cancer therapyis more distressingand persistant than usual fatigue and is not proportional to recent activity. Cancer-related fatigue has complex and multifactorial structure whichis associated with significantly impaired functioning and overall quality of life.Altough the exact cause of cancer-related fatigueis unknown it seems that it has a variety of physiological and psychosocial causes. In this review article we concentrated on themind-body treatmen.
Methods and materials:we systematically searchedPub Med, SienceDirect,SpringerLink,and other databases and identified 70 relevent articles. Findings: Hypnosis is the induction of a deeply relaxed state with increased suggestiblity.Imagery techniques(such as guided imagery) used in this state called the hypnotic trance involves induction of a relaxed state interventions (hypnosis/imagery)andhave demonstrated beneficial effects on cancer-related fatigue. Conclusion: More studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of other mindbody interventionsin relievingfatigue ,pain and sleep disturbance syndrome cluster incancer patents.

Hamidfar B1
Introduction: Due to hard jobs, industrial workers are faced with occupational stress, chronic fatigue syndrome, musculoskeletal pain and reduction of mind-body capabilities more than others. The more years of experience they have, the more stress-induced problems and disabling sickness would be occurred and also more absenteeism at work and industrial shut downs. This study represents a new selfhypnotic induction method and evaluates it in Mobarakeh Steel Complex industrial workers. Methods and Materials : Plummet Induction Technique (PIT), a new method for self-hypnosis, was designed by the writer on a basis of general rules of hypnosis process and suggestion and modified through live feedbacks. PIT training was given to industrial workers of Mobarakeh Steel Complex in a population of 225 cases in 15 groups in a period of 18 months. Because of data loss, 100 cases were selected for statistical study. The method was validated by researcher-made questionnaire. A 6-hour seminar followed by individual sessions was the format that permitted by the company to accomplish. PIT does not need more than 3 minutes to be performed. Pretest-posttest method was used for the Interpretation of results. Findings: Results showed that 86% of cases were agreed with the short performance period time, 92% with being easy to learn, and 76% with being enjoyable. Rapid deepening was seen in 60% of cases. Conclusion: Industrial workers and occupational health care providers mark PIT as a necessary tool with positive effects. However industrial work environment dictates some limitations on data-gathering process, appropriate time and condition for instructional interferences and samples follow-up possibilities and the statistical studies, PIT could be recommended.

An analysis of the effect of thermal induction on skin surface temperature under hypnotic trance
Sookhtanlou M , Sharifi H
Introduction: Since the inception of hypnosis, there has been a controversy

over the question whether hypnosis is a cognitive or physiological condition? The importance of this matter lies in the fact that different psychological schools of thoughts, and consequently different therapeutic methods, have their own attitude toward hypnotism. The purpose of this study is to shed light on the ambiguity surrounding this matter.
Method: This study was conducted on 30 students of Mashhad Payame noor University using both pre-test and post-test. After the realization of hypnotic trance, heating and cooling induction were carried out at two different stages. To measure the physiological parameters, the temperature of subjects both hands was measured before and after hypnotic trance in a constant environmental temperature using infrared thermometer (Fluke62 mini) with one degree error coefficient To monitor the intervening variable, the temperature of both hands was measured after induction. To examine the cognitive aspects of hypnosis, the subjects filled out a questionnaire in Likert-scale format about the extent of temperature change felt during hypnotism in their hand. Results: The result of data analysis using dependent T-Test revealed there was not a significant difference between the average temperature of the hand exposed to cooling induction after and before hypnotism even at 95 percent confidence level, while there was a significant difference between the hand exposed to heating induction before and after hypnotism at 99 percent confidence level. As to the cognitive dimension, 91 percent of the subjects had felt the heat or the cold after trance. Discussion: The significance of temperature difference of both hands in heating experiment before and after hypnotic induction demonstrates that hypnotic phenomena affect physiology. That temperature change was not significant in both inductions can be explained as below: first the cooling experiment was conducted and then the heating induction and subjects, having experienced hypnotism, were more receptive to induction. The high percentage of the heat and the cold felt by subjects also indicate to the cognitive dimension. Key words: hypnosis, cognitive, physiological, temperature change.

Evaluation of the effect of hypnosis on the treatment of tension headache.


Joudi Marjan1, Fathi M2, Harati H, Joudi Maryam Pain is the most common cause of the presence patients in the clinics, and headache is one of the most frequent cause of ethronic pains. Tension headaches is usually non organic and could appear at any tome of day. Although usually increases at the end of the daily activitics. One of the non-drug therapeutic modalities for tension headache is induction of hypnotism and relaxation. In our study 30 patients (13 men,17 females). With mean age of 21.5 years (17.38) who were known cases of tension headache underwent hypnotism, in 3 to 7 sessions. Our technique was progressive relaxation and guided imagery. Patients were followed for one month. There was no headache in 16 patients (53.3%) , while hypnotism was not effective in 4 patients (13.3%). In 3 patients there were no change in the intensity and frequency of headache, and in 6 patients the frequency and intensity of pain was alleviated, so the days or treatment for analgesic was decreased significantly. One patient did not follow the treatment and was omitted from the study. We concluded that this induction of hypnotism is an effective modality for te treatment of tension headache.
Key words: Tension headache, Induction of hypnotism.

Surgery: An experience of spontaneous hypnosis


Joudi M1 , Fathi M2
Introduction: physiologic components of hypnosis are dissociation, absorption and reduce of peripheral awareness. Dissociation refers to disperse of inner mental impulses. Those arent in correlation with outside object. Absorption converse mind to focus on object. Induction of these two components follows to reduce of peripheral awareness. This Experien occures frequently every day, such as when some body reads an article, components that mentioned above are present, then spontaneous hypnosis occures. Also, surgery is a process hat surgeon's mind focuses on procedure and he (she) dissociates of unnecessary outer and owner impulses. This situation provides imagi: nation of procedure. Conclusion: spontaneous hypnosis occures frequently every day. Surgeons are in hypnotic state whenever, they involve on his work.

Arzegar A, Tahamy SE
Introduction: Obsessive - compulsive disorder is one of the common mental disorders that can cause many problems for patients. In this paper the modern virtual reality techniques are introduced and different ways of using this technique to treat or improve the condition of patients with OCD are discussed and finally the proper technique is proposed. Methods: Numbers of Recent researches of VR were evaluated and in their newest and most efficient, 30 patients with OCD and 27 healthy volunteer in the VR environments are facing the tasks that were designed for diagnosis, treatment and acceptance of virtual reality environment so their behavior was studied. Method involves three stages of education, acceptance environment and main tasks. Results: Statistical results indicated that in VR-based behavioral therapy YBOCS (Yale-Brown obsessive compulsive scale) scores decreased greatly compared with the Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. (SSRI), so frequency of checking behavior (0.117), time of checking (0.015) and path length (0.185) were lowered significantly and there are no adverse effects. Conclusion: Review of different methods showed that the virtual environment

can cause biofeedback of behavior, biological parameters recording and processing to obtain the patient's psychological and physiological conditions, combining different methods, the Optional environments instant control and treatment of multiple disorders is introduced as a new cost effective method of OCD assessment and treatment.

Sohrabi M1 This research "The Effect Of Physical Practice and Random/Blocked Mental Imagery on Performance and Learning of Tracking Task" on 108 Ferdowsi University students in 9(nine) groups of 12 students with mean age of (21.69 1.51) and mean of MIQ score of ( 51.26 2.99) were done. The group of do physical practice and mental imagery in two methods of random and blocked in 10(ten) sessions. Results show that between Performance of Random/Blocked Mental imagery with Random/Blocked physical Practice in acquisition process was significant. Physical Practice groups were better. But, difference between physical Practice groups and combined groups wasn't significant. In retention process, Random/Blocked mental imagery in comparison with physical Practice and combined groups had a better performance. Random mental imagery in comparison of Blocked mental imagery was better. Also Reconstruction hypothesis of Lee and Magil for non effect contextual interference with generalized motor program parameter change is contradict. However mental imagery with Peter Lang's Bioinformational Theory is agreeable. According to this theory mental imagery of movement task in a special speed conduce to speed interference with next movement.
Key words: Mental Imagery, Contextual Interference, Retroactive Interference, and Bioinformational Theory.

Hypnosis Depth Determination, Using Empirical Mode Decomposition


Baghdadi G, Nasrabadi AM1
Introduction: Nowadays, electroencephalogram (EEG) processing, in different brain mode such as sleep, anesthesia, epilepsy, mental activity and hypnosis are put under consideration, in vital signal processing. Following these studies, in this research the effect of hypnosis on brain activity was investigated. Method: In this research using improved empirical mode decomposition (EMD) algorithm, different features were extracted from EEG signal of 32 right-handed men, which their hypnotizability score have been measured by Waterloo-Stanford group scale. Then using statistical analyses, it is investigated that if hypnosis and hypnotizability have significant effect on the features or not. The results showed that hypnosis induction and the level of the hypnotizability have significant effects on different features in various brain waves, in special brain lobes. Different appropriate features for classifying three hypnotizable groups were selected using statistical analyses and the area under ROC curve (AUC). The selected features are evaluated by a KNN classifier and two features were introduced as the best features for determining of the hypnotizability level, based on Leave-one-out (LOO) cross validation results. Result: The result of investigations showed that there are some EEG features which can be used as an index of the subject hypnotizability level. The first one is a feature based on Higuchis fractal dimension, which is selected because of the number of required recording electrodes (one channel, with an average classifying error of 6.25%). The second one is a linear combination of scaling parameter in theta band in channel 9 and Higuchis and Petrosians fractal dimension in channel 13, which is selected because of its lower classifying error (approximately with no error). As the hypnosis depth has a direct relation with hypnotizability, hypnosis trance can be estimated, using the introduced features instead of common standard subjective clinical method. In the next stage of the study, hypnosis depth changes are investigated along hypnosis induction. As we have no information about the time of the depth changes, we have to use unsupervised or clustering algorithms. Using Kmeans clustering algorithm and different features, hypnosis EEG signals are represented as cluster-time maps. In these maps, it is showed that different hypnotizable groups

have selected different clusters in different time windows along hypnosis induction. Using this technique and a feature based on Beta wave energy, a significant result is obtained for estimating depth of hypnosis along different 3 minutes time windows of hypnosis EEG. Transforming some features values to zscore values also represents a method for estimating instantaneous depth of hypnosis.
Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed that hypnosis induction and

hypnotizability level make significant effect on brain hemisphere activities, frequency band energy, spatial and temporal correlation and phase synchronization of EEG signals. It was also shown that the clinicians can measure the subjects hypnotizability level at the end of hypnosis induction based on the EEG feature instead of using traditional subjective method such as Waterloo-Stanford test. In addition a new method for online estimation of hypnosis depth during hypnosis suggestion based on EEG features z-core was developed.

Introduction: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of the most prevalent Obsessive disorders with anxiety many other behavioral symptoms. Quantification and assessment of brain signals (EEG) and comparison with the healthy controls in order to faster detection and differential diagnosis of behavioral disorders is one of the interests of researchers. The aim of this study was evaluation of brain signals of OCD patients using event related potential (ERP) signals. The objectives are, Evaluation varying of ERP signals related to working memory for the subjects response which is disturbed due to OCDand comparison with healthy control subjects. Method and Materials: The main focus of this project was on the selection of real and the same type of OCD subjects and Optimum data acquisition and signal processing. In the data acquisition part we provided a setup to record three channels ERP signal from 20 healthy and 20 patient subjects (all volunteers) which were selected through clinical interviews and Bill Brown test. In the signal processing part, the procedure were followed as, noise and EOG artifact removal, ERP extraction by synchronize averaging, feature extraction including 48 time, frequency and wavelet features, feature optimization by PCA and finally, data classification using Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Elman Neural Network, and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Results: the discrimination of ERP signals related to True responses for the

healthy and OCD subjects in 300-800 msec after stimulus were more activated and in the best case, the responses 98 percent were classified by SVM classifier in the PZ channel. Also, ERP signals related to the False responses for the healthy and OCD subjects in 700-1000 msec after stimulus were more activated in the best

The effect of hypnotic inspirations upon fluctuations of student's balance


Mirpour M, Moghaddam A Nowadays psychological of sport with surveying of various mental skills and profiting of scientific method have much influence in sport (Moghadam, 2006). Some subjects that was interested by psychological researchers of sport; is he studying of hypnotic effects in athletics function, so that because of such researches, using of hypnotism in sport gradually, has found its own place in sport practices, competitions scene and matches. Main reason for using of hypnotic in sport is the increasing and improvement of function and/or related aspects of function increasing such as decreasing of stress and anxiety, increasing of tendency and concentrate, increasing of motive and mentality. For this hypnotism was called as mental doping (kastel vilmer, 2005), because when athletic is in hypnotism manner, it is making for him rapture and appeal manner, decrising and separate knowledge of circumstance and also producing of inspiration in him (Nasr abadi 2003). With such approach; this research is proceeding to the comparison of the effect of hypnotically inspirations upon fluctuations of student's balance. The research was completed in manner of semi-experimental method and from fundamental type. The participants in this research was including of 22 students of physical education which were studying in Islamic azad university- Mashhad banch with average of 24 age, that were volunteer and eligible for participating in research. The capability of hypnotism in participants was tested using of Estenfords capability of hypnotism measure (1987). Collective measure of Estenfords, is including of 12 testes for surveying of capability of hypnotism, which is consisting all ideals and works that are practicable. Grading to this measure is based on some questions which is asked from the person and can perform collective. also the balance was metered using of a digital evaluation balance machine or body condition evaluation machine. This machine meters the postural fluctuations of that person in different directions. In this research was using from general index of body postural fluctuations in all directions (deviance scale of balance point) as balance. Duty of participant was under the condition to become or stand balance without hypnotic infusions (basic condition), in manner of hypnotism and after the hypnotism (5 minuets- two weeks) on evaluation balance machine. All the participants in every condition has performed for 20 seconds attempt upon the evaluation balance machine. For analyzing of data used t test that is using for statistical analyze. Results: The results about fluctuation indictor as balance performing indictor hows that there is main effect, which is meaningful, in hypnotic inspirations upon hysique/ balance fluctuations, so that, becoming conditional toward hypnotism inspirations, has been establishing suitable improvement in balance operation on different condition of task.

A pilot study of the use of hypnosis and suggestion in pediatric dentistry in Mashhad dental school
Makarem A1, Sariri HR2 The foundation of practicing dentistry for children is the ability to guide them through their dental experiences. In the short term; this ability is prerequisite to providing for their immediate dental needs. The use of hypnosis in dentistry is sometimes referred to as HYPNODONTICS. Hennon comments that hypnodontics can become an extension of an already established chair side manner. The technique has no significant disadvantages if the practitioner regards it as an alternative to behavior management and not as the ultimate solution to all management problems. Hypnosis and suggestion are applied for a variety of causes in the field of dentistry as follows: Inducing anesthesia, control functional or psychosomatic gagging, control hemorrhage and salivation, prevent and treatment of oral habits (e.g. thumbsuking, bruxism ) 11 children who need dental treatment and have some behavior problem, such as: management of behavior, anesthesia induces, gagging control, hemorrhage and salivation control and had bad oral habits, were treated in Pediatric dentistry department of Mashhad dental school. Of 4 children who were under treatment with this technique 3 of them showed a better result to our treatment and 1 was not significantly successful. From 3 children who went under local anesthesia 2 of them gave a positive result and 1 ended up to be not significantly important. Moreover, the two children who had bleeding and salivation control problem were treat with suggestion showed positive result. Finally, the only child who was treated by using this technique because of oral bleeding gave a very positive result.
Conclusion: This study showed that if the dentist regards hypnosis and suggestion as an alternative to behavior management and not as the ultimate solution to all management problems the technique will be successful and has no significant disadvantages.

Anesthesia and analgesia in hypnosis in operation


Soltani Nadjaf Abadi F1 Zigmond Froid he is the base man in Psychology . He and Bruer ( his coworker) studied in technical of hypnosis in control of pair especially in operation pain. In orther to better understand of mechanism of hypnosis we should be review of this. In the first stage you feel like to take a nap. (The brain,s waves become Alfa )feeling relaxation , but contrary to sleeping only concentration in this stage causes you to enter the second stage of hypnosis .In this stage more concentration and deep hypnosis cause the body relaxation and calmness so that finally there is a complete insensibility .Just like syncope ,you forget time and place .Grandually, the body enters the third stage when you have no awareness of the environment so that you can 't hear and voice.Despite the eyes opened ,you can not see anything .Nothing occured to you .In this stage you can hear and see only what you concentrate on it. This is a question how hypnosis help to control of pain in operation we know that hypnosis acts directly by means of endogenous stimulation of opium crrent. Naloxan as an antagonist of opium has no effect on hypnotic insensibility.Hypnosis cause Beta and andorphine increase in blood serum and also psychological processes and non physiologic effects. It seems that hypnosis acts much more that an plasibo.Hypnosis insensibility considers both awareness of pain and the techniques of pain release like distraction , calmness , relaxation, changing the situation and the resistance against pain.Actually , hypnosis is an ability of changing psychological components against the experiment of pain. Hyposis can manage and control of post surgical pain. David Pederson a spokesperson for the American Association of Nurse Anesthetist which recognize the techniques as a valid from of analgesia. It is often natural for anesthesia that everything is fine to put them in a comfort zone a form of hypnosis , he said hypnosis can be an effective way to control and find cause for insomnia, auxiety and pain.These patient are discharged as soon as possible and save their money.

Hypnosis and nursing care


Lotfi Fatemi SN 1 Introduction: Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness. Patients entering hospitals, clinics or physician's offices for procedures are in an altered state, which makes them more susceptible to suggestions by health care workers. No health care worker spends more time with the patient than the nurse; therefore, it makes sense that hypnosis and nursing are a perfect combination.It is the nurse's responsibility to know the difference between negative toxic language and therapeutic positive language. Method: this is a review article that has been provided descriptively.We studied available resources such as the relevant books, workshops, and articles which published in Pubmed and Medline. Results:Of all professions, nursing is the most trusted. This is because nursing care is based on rapport with the patient. For the nurse, rapport is gaining trust and confidence. For hypnotists, rapport is a light stage of hypnosis in which the client or patient accepts suggestions. Research shows that when rapport (hypnosis) between the patient and the health care provider is optimal, the healing process is enhanced. Nurses and Nurse Anesthetists are in a perfect position to use words to change thoughts. They can say to patients, as they enter general anesthesia, "You will wake up feeling better than you thought you would - feeling pleasantly." And when the patient is emerging from anesthesia, they can say, "You should be comfortable; if not let us know." Unfortunately, as many nurses and nurse anesthetists talk to their patients, they are not aware of how their words impact the patient in their hypnotic rapport state. Words can be toxic or therapeutic, therefore to use hypnosis, suggestion and rapport effectively, it is important for the nurse to understand that a simple question can have either a positive or negative effect on the patient. For example: "How bad is your pain?" is suggesting there is pain and that it is bad. instead of asking, "What is your pain level?" health care workers ask, "What is your comfort level?" A different perception gives a different physical response which in turn has shown to actually lessen the patient's pain. Conclusion:Hypnosis is becoming more acceptable as an adjunct to nursing practice. It is a normal phenomenon that can be used positively or negatively to influence patient outcomes. Nurses trained in hypnosis greatly enhance patient satisfaction and outcomes because they understand how to use positive and therapeutic language. Unfortunately, for every nurse trained in hypnotic techniques there are thousands who aren't.

Introduction:Giving birth to a child is a very special moment for a women. The feeling of becoming a mother is just unexplainable in words. However, some women are extra cautious when it comes to child birth, especially on the issue of labor pain. But there is an easy to minimize it, and have a safe delivery. Some women worry too much about pain that they have to go through during child birth. The fact is that the amount of pain that they have while delivery is mostly dependent on their mindset. Methods & Material: Library and web search, met analysis research Results: If we watch a few movies, that show a woman going through severe pain during child birth, then our subconscious mind will start believing that its really painful, and that will make us suffer at the time of delivery for no real reason! To avoid it, we have to understand that most of the things shown in movies are highly dramatized, and in reality women hardly have 10 % of labor pain than what they show in movies. Now a days, lots of hospitals use hypnotherapy in order to minimize labor pain. Every woman, who went through hypnosis session, reported of normal delivery, and minimum labor pain. Some of the women also learned how to control their anxiety and tension through self hypnosis, and they too had normal deliveries. So, we can conclude that the pain is more in the mind than it is in real, and hypnosis can help all the women to minimize their labor pain. Relaxation during labor is key to having a peaceful, enjoyable birth experience. High levels of adrenaline can hinder the birth canal's ability to stretch and accommodate a baby. Staying relaxed in a comfortable, intimate atmosphere will lower adrenaline levels and facilitate the opening of the cervix and vagina and allow for an easier birth. Methods such as deep breathing, meditation, hypnosis, prayer, laughter and gentle coaching can help pregnant women relax, stay calm and breathe through their contractions and birth sensations.

Forensic Medicine Hypnosis use


Maleki Delarestaghi A 1, Morvarid M2 Background & objective: Hypnosis is not magic, on the contrary, it is transient variation of awareness that is associated with change of imaging, suggestibility, concentration, and the degree of Dissociation. Nowadays use of it for Therapeutic or Investigative purposes. There are some differences between Therapeutic and Investigative Hypnosis. Forensic Hypnosis means to investigate with Hypnosis as the main tool and the purpose of a forensic session is to refresh the subjects memory. The use of hypnosis as an investigative tool for law enforcement is a fairly recent development although it was used for this purpose at various times, there was no concentrated effort to develop it as a practicable working tool until about 1970 and Currently many major police agencies are using hypnosis to some degree in criminal cases. But there is controversies over the use of hypnosis because of the most of courts has misunderstood the issue of hypnosis, and exclude hypnotically refreshed testimony as "inherently unreliable" Virtually, therefore Forensic Hypnosis may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction yet, and many courts prohibit a person from testifying about information that arose during hypnosis. But receiving incorrect information from a witness/victim is not a hypnosis issue because police officers using standard interview techniques get incorrect information from witnesses who may be confused and no hypnosis is involved. Since when using hypnosis to refresh memory, subjects may get correct information, incorrect information, or a combination of both. Hypnotically refreshed recall standing alone, without corroboration. For that reason it is insufficient for an arrest or indictment, and corroboration is needed to support the reliability of information obtained through hypnosis. The present study describes benefits of forensic application of hypnosis according literatures in all over the world and in addition a report of use of hypnosis in help to two innocent incriminations that had been accused of killing the a manager man. Conclusions: Hypnosis is not an appropriate method for demonstrating the crime but it is a useful tool in recalling the key points of criminal events by witness or victim, and also in exonerating of suspect. It is believed that the use of hypnosis can be effective if investigations perform under certain condition and based on appropriate guidelines. For these specified advantages, it is better to give more attention for using hypnosis in forensic medicine like other detection methods such as deception test.

Investigation to Effectiveness of Neurofeedback on Treatment Major Depressive Disorder in Patients client of Qods Hospital
Mohammad Zade Sarve, Mohammad Zade Samako

Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that uses electroencephalography or fMRI to provide a signal that can be used by a person to receive feedback about brain activity. Like other forms of biofeedback, neurofeedback training (NFT) uses monitoring devices to provide moment-to-moment information to an individual on the state of their physiological functioning. The characteristic that distinguishes NFT from other biofeedback is a focus on the central nervous system and the brain. Being a self-regulation method, NFT differs from other accepted researchconsistent neuro-modulatory approaches such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that provoke an automatic brain response by presenting a specific signal. Outlines of this research is Investigation to Effectiveness of Neurofeedback on Treatment Major Depressive Disorder in Patients client of Qods Hospital.major depressive disorder one of the most popular psychiatric diagnosis that its patognomonic character is depressed mood ,blue emotion and loss of present in almost all of life dimension. Research is experimental and assignment is random. Patients that received MDD diagnosis and hospitalized and receive chemical therapy were contributed in research (each group-experiment10 member and control group 10 member)experiment group received 8 session neurofeedback therapy and control group was received drug therapy only(for ethical aspect control group recived 1 session neurofeedback Theraqpy after research processes.criterias for contributing in research was psychiatristic diagnosis and point13 in Hamilton scale.
Conclusion: conclusions of data analisys with T test shows significant differences in experimental and control group.means after therapy in experimental group was 5.25 and in control group was 7.63( P<0.01) Discussion: like other research this research confirms effectivity of this approach.neurofeedback is a self regulation approach that is free of drug therapy restrictions.

The Recommendation of Using Electromagnetic Waves to Facilitate Hypnosis Infusion


Shafiei SA1, Sabbagh SA There have been almost lots of researches on the relation between EEG and hypnosis and the common findings between all of them show that people with high capacity of being hypnotized, compared to those with lower capacity, have more tendency to show the amount of slow rhythms (theta & alpha) both before and during the process of hypnosis infusion. It's also observed that there is an increase of alpha rhythm among all people (specially among those with high capacity of being hypnotized) after hypnosis infusions, so that through training Neurofeedback by increasing theta (4-7.5 Hz) and alpha (8-12 Hz) rhythms and the ratio of theta to alpha, the response to hypnosis infusion increases. For example, training Neurofeedback on the basis of enhancing the theta rhythm of region Pz, increases the readiness of being hypnotized significantly. But the fundamental issue is that for hypnosis infusion to happen, a quiet environment and mental inactivity of the person who takes part in that process is required which contradicts the very basis of Neurofeedback technique and is not performable during the process of hypnosis infusion. So this technique is used before the hypnosis infusion in order to increase the capacity of being hypnotized. Most of the researchers have surveyed the effect of very weak magnetic fields upon brain signals and it is observed that magnetic fields, according to their amplitude and frequency, have different influences on brain signals of different parts of head. Some of them are influential on alpha band. We can also indicate the increase of alpha band after radiating 80 microtesla of magnetic field with 50-60 Hz frequency and after exposure 1.26 mT field with 45 Hz frequency or the increase of theta band because of exposure in field with 3 Hz frequency. According to the two arguments presented above, it could be concluded that applying magnetic field with specific strength and frequency which can reinforce alpha or theta band may be influential during the process of hypnosis infusion. Doing some incorporative researches about hypnosis infusion as well as exposure of magnetic field is recommended.

Metacognitive Therapy, Hypnotherapy, and Combined treatment in treating Secondary Vaginismus due to Rape
Shareh H1, Haghi E2
Introduction: Although treatments with demonstrated efficacy exist for vaginismus; there are fewer researches on the effectiveness of hypnotherapy and metacognitive therapy in treating vaginismus. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of metacognitive therapy (MCT) compare to hypnotherapy and the combination of MCT with hypnotherapy in treating secondary vaginismus due to rape. Methods and materials: In an experimental study, 36 secondary vaginismus outpatients were randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions: MCT, hypnotherapy and combined treatment group. All the patients received 12 weeks of treatment. Six questionnaires were administered at pre-treatment, post-treatment and at 6-month follow up: Beck anxiety inventory (BAI), Penn inventory for PTSD, Impact of events scale, Female sexual function inventory (FSFI), Subjective units of distress (SUD) and Metacognitions questionnaire-short Form (MCQ-30). Group differences were examined using one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVAs), repeated measure analysis of variance, clinically significant change, and pre- to post-treatment percentage improvement on each of the outcome measures using the SPSS-19 statistical package. Findings: 34 patients completed this study. Results in post treatment and follow up showed that combined treatment lead to a more significant improvement in the severity of PTSD symptoms, anxiety, subjective distress, sexual function, and metacognitions (all p<0.05) than hypnotherapy and MCT. Although there were no significant differences between MCT and hypnotherapy in post treatment, MCT lead to a more significant improvement than hypnotherapy at follow up. Repeated measure ANOVA for each group showed that, compared to hypnotherapy and MCT, changes were faster in combined treatment groups. Conclusion: Combined treatment is more effective than hypnotherapy and MCT in treating secondary vaginismus due to rape. Key words: Vaginismus; Rape; Metacognitive therapy; Hypnotherapy, Sexual function.

The Application of Hypnosis in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder


Alamidoost E1 and Hypnotherapy have been applied in the treatment of psychological disorders and in Medicine for years. Nowadays, through searching on the wide web network, we notice that the selective treatment of many stress disorders such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is hypnotherapy in many countries and its effectiveness is proved through numerous studies. One kind of PTSD is presented in this article which has been applied in a number of case studies and is hoped to be considered more seriously in future.
Methodology : Due to lack of time and other limitations, the effectiveness of PTSD hypnotherapy was evaluated through three case studies. In all of them, due to different reasons, the subjects showed signs and symptoms which were classified as the post traumatic stress disorder based on DSM IV-TR diagnosis criteria. After the clinical interview and primary diagnosis, some explanations were given to clients about the treatment mechanism. Then,some tranquillizing methods such as relaxation and deep breathing were taught to them. After their tension and anxiety were controlled, the hypnotherapy began. In order to eliminate avoidance and also for the effective decrease of anxiety, confrontation technique is usually used. But in this study, patients were asked to tell that under what circumstances their self confidence and self esteem would have been endangered less and they would have experienced less anxiety and agony. Then, through hypnosis, their memory of the stressful event was reconstructed in a way that they felt they were more effective and efficient. Thus, their mental exposure to the stressful event was devoid of the primary negative and unpleasant sense and was done more easily. Some other technique that can been applied in hypnotherapy are such as the change of point of view and reconsidering about the occurred event from others points of view. These techniques can change the patients harmful beliefs regarding the meaning of that bad event. Introduction: Hypnosis

all of the three cases, considerable and rather fast improvement was shown. The results of the stress and anxiety tests that were taken from the clients before and after the hypnotherapy also proved

Discussion: Hypnosis can provide a more effective treatment for PTSD. These case studies, showed the efficiency of this method which was derived from the integration of two effective treatment methods, namely confrontation and hypnosis. In order to generalize this method and to evaluate its effectiveness compared to the other treatments, longer professional team work is required. In this treatment, the most important condition that must be met is the therapists sufficient skill and proficiency in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy. The history of the patient should also be examined to make sure there are no other disorders which can hinder the treatment. Hypnotherapy should be done according to each patients characteristics.

COMPARISON OF EFFECT OF NITROUS OXIDE SEDATION, WITH COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY IN REDUCING DENTAL ANXIETY IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN.
Kebriaee F1 , Mazhari F2, Sarraf Shirazi A3, Fani J4, Moharreri F5, Soltanifar A6
Background: Despite the availability of an array of behavior management techniques, dental anxiety appears to be a widespread problem in children. Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of inhalation sedation with Nitrous oxide/Oxygen (N2O/O2) and CBT to reduce dental anxiety in preschool children. Design: This study was done on 45 preschool children with moderate to severe dental anxiety and at least one Mandibular primary molar requiring pulp treatment. The primary anxiety levels were determined. Then children were randomly assigned to one of the three groups: Control, N2O/O2, CBT. In control group, usual behavior management techniques; in N2O/O2 group, Nitrous oxide-Oxygen gases and in CBT group unrelated play, Benson's breathing and positive self-talk and modeling were used. The anxiety levels were determined in three periods: injection, rubber dam and application of high-speed handpiece. The anxiety differences between the two dental visits were compared within the three groups. Results: The results showed significant differences among the three groups.

N2O/O2 and CBT significantly resulted to lower anxiety (P=0.00) in the second visit compared to control, but there was no significantly difference between CBT and N2O.
Conclusions: The two treatment methods were both effective in reducing dental anxiety in preschool children. With regard to adverse effects and necessity of equipment and trained personals in N2O/O2 method, and more acceptability and applicability of CBT method, CBT appears to be more preferable to N2O/O2. Key words: Dental anxiety, nitrous oxide, cognitive behavior therapy

The study of hypnosis effect on weight loss in over weight person adjuvant to low calorie diet therapy
Rezazadeh N.1, Shahrabadi H.2 Introduction: The escalation of obesity rates in the world with changed lifestyle persuade researchers to discover the perfect weight loss method. Obesity not only impacts lifestyle but can also lead to serious obesity-related health conditions. Hypnotherapy can be used to modify your perceptions, behavior, sensations and emotions, attention is highly focused and more responsive to suggestions, including behavior changes that can help to lose weight. In this study we tried to evaluate effectiveness of weight-loss hypnosis and compare with classic diet therapy (low calorie) alone (1). Method and materials: In this study we enrolled 32 women with overweight claim that referred to private diet therapy clinic. Medical history was taken and diagnostic test do to exclude Underlying causes of obesity, including endocrine and metabolic factors, on clinical grounds. Subjects were between 17 and 65 years old and met the requirement of being with BMI(Body Mass Index) more than 27 as overweight and obese.Subjects were randomly placed in one of two groups. Group 1 (16 cases) receive low-calorie diet. Group 2(16 cases) received low- calorie diet plus hypnotherapy. For each subject, data was recorded on the following variables: age, weight, height, and weight control recorded in second, third, 5th, 7th, 9th weeks. Obesity and overweight measured with Body Mass Index (BMI). It is calculated as weight (in kg) divided by height (in meters) squared . Findings:Mean of age in participants who had used a Low Calorie Diet (LCD) alone, was 34.3 years old(sd=11.7) average of weight was 87.45 kg (sd= 11.5 )and mean of BMI was 30.67 (sd=3.6 ). with Hypnosis group, mean of age was 32.18 years old (sd=12.8) and average of weight was 77.45 kg (sd=15.2) and mean of BMI was 31.2.Data distribution was normally and in comparing of two group, Participants did not differ by weight (z=-0.2,p-value=0.83), age (z= -0.5 ,p -value= 0.59), body mass index status (z= -0.15,p-value=0.8).participants who had used a LCD plus hypnotherapy had achieved significantly greater initial percent weight reduction compared to individuals who had used a LCD program (Z= -3.24 , p value= 0.001) Conclusion: This study compared the hypnotherapy effect plus low calorie diet and advice in producing weight loss, has produced a statistically significant result in favour of hypnotherapy. this study was done with small subjects, in female group and short time evaluation. More intensive hypnotherapy might of course have been more successful, and perhaps the results of the trial are sufficiently encouraging to pursue this approach further. Key words: Hypnosis-weight loss-low calorie diet.

Abraham Maslow Recent developments in neuroscience have provided us with a wealth of the basic knowledge and tools which are required for neurobiological understanding of the psychological concepts. This advantage enables contemporary scientists to suggest and test brain models for psychological concepts, theories, and methods. Considering the current dominance of biological ideas in psychiatry and psychology, such models are essential in confi rmation of the psychological theories of mind. In this article a brain model for schemas as essential to cognitive theory is proposed. Schemas are seen as patterns which are recognized and memorized through the training phase of an autoassociative neural network.Then, these patterns are used to complete ambiguous aspects of future experiences through thalamo and hippocampal-cortical pathways. In relation to the self or the outside world when a pattern with unknown, noisy, or vague aspects is encountered, those aspects are completed by the principal components of previously learned patterns (schema). This process is to help the observer acquire a better understanding of the environment or the self. However, the patterns which are used to complete the uncertainties about the self or the environment are sometimes not good estimates of the reality and lead the person/patient to an illusionary perception of the self/environment. In this article, the role of the mirror neuron system in pattern recognition is also explained. Psychological and biological therapeutic implications of this model are discussed and the importance of a link between dynamic and cognitive therapies is rationalized.

A Neural Network Model for Transference and Repetition Compulsion Based on Pattern Completion
Javanbakht A1 , Charles L. Ragan2 If the only tool you have is a hammer,every problem begins to resemble a nail. Abraham Maslow In recent years because of the fascinating growth of the body of neuroscientific knowledge, psychoanalytic scientists have worked on models for the neurological substrates of key psychoanalytic concepts. Transference is an important example. In this article, the psychological process of transference is described, employing the neurological function of pattern completion in hippocampal and thalamo cortical pathways. Similarly, repetition compulsion is seen as another type of such neurological function; however, it is understood as an attempt for mastery of the unknown, rather than simply for mastery of past experiences and perceptions. Based on this suggested model of neurological function, the mythof the psychoanalyst as blank screen is seen as impossible and ineffective, based on neurofunctional understandings of neuropsychological process. The mutative effect of psychoanalytic therapy, correcting patterns of pathological relatedness, is described briefly from conscious and unconscious perspectives. While cognitive understanding (insight) helps to modify transferentially restored, maladaptive patterns of relatedness, the development of more adaptive patterns is also contingent upon an affective experience (working through), which alters the neurological substrates of unconscious, pathological affective patterns and their neurological functional correlates. Freud would be impressed if he knew of the growing number of current psychoanalyticneuroscience studies. While he abandoned this endeavor because of the then limited knowledge of neuroscience, we have an effective bridge between these two disciplines: neuropsychoanalysis. Since transference and its analysis are core concepts in all psychoanalytic theories and therapies, an understanding of their neural bases is important. The complexity of transference and countertransference was

Comparative effects of hypnosis and lidocaine on modulating pain intensity of episiotomy repair in primiparous women.
Vatanparast S1 , Shahidi EO2
Background and aims: perineal pain affects mothers quality of life. This study

has been aimed to investigate the effects of hypnosis and lidocaine on modulating pain intensity of episiotomy repair in primiparous women
Method: In this study, 30 eligible Primigravida mothers was randomly divided

into 2 equal groups. In 15 of them (Control Group), Postpartum Repair of Episiotomy was done by anesthesia through injection of 10cc lidocaine and in other 15 samples (Experimental Group) Postpartum Repair of Episiotomy was done by Hypnotic Anesthesia. Data collection instruments included visual Analogue Scale (VOS) questionnaire and Demographic Form. Data processing was done by independent T-Test and Chi-Square analysis method using SPSS software.
Results:Results showed that the mean pain reduction in control group is 2.235

with SD of 0.48. The mean pain reduction in experimental group is 2.06 with SD of 0.25. Demographics and other interfering variables showed no significant differences between the groups. T-Tests showed that the mean score for pain reduction in both Experimental and Control groups dont have statistically significant differences (P <0/0001).
Conclusion: Based on the above results there are not statistically significant difference between effects of lidocaine or hypnosis on pain reduction in episiotomy repair so hypnosis as lidocaine can reduce pain in Episiotomy repair. It seems hypnosis can be used in departments of Gynecology and Obstetrics as an easy method for pain reduction without complications.

Survey of BA Students of general psychology of Payame Noor University of Mashhads vision about Hypnotic
Fathi M1, Sabzevari A2 , Soukhtanlou M3, Sahebi M4
Introduction: Hypnotic knowledge, which drives from psychology and is

widely used in this field, is not used usually in academic psychological texts in Iran. The purpose of this study was the evaluation of general psychology BA students of Payame Noor university of Mashhads views about hypnosis.
Method:A 200-member random sample was chose from all of general psychology students of Payame Noor university of Mashhad. (n=1037). 50 people in each academic year were present in the sample. A 25- survey that was graded according to Likert scale from totally agree to quite the opposite in 5 level was answered by sample. The vision to hypnotic and the vision to treat with hypnotic was measured by that survey. The collected data was analyzed by using Pearson Correlation Coefficient with SPSS.13 software.

Results: Outcomes of the study revealed that understanding of psychology students who were under investigation in general insight toward hypnotic has an average of 41.19 4.55 and in insight area toward hypnotic remedies has an average of 34.93 3.52. There were no significant discrepancy between first year and second year students of university with third and fourth year students in general insight toward hypnotic. In addition, there was no significant discrepancy between these two groups in belief in hypnotic remedies. Discussion: Outcomes of this study revealed that general insight and belief in hypnotic remedies is low among psychology students and more than %50 of the students do not have enough information about the hypnotic Nature and even it is remedies applications. Moreover, the difference between first and second year students with third and fourth year students indicate lack of sufficient education as hypnotic is an essential part in psychology text. We strictly recommend teaching this science on the top of the psychology groups educational schedule.

Asgharshakeri H1, Arkani E2, Saberi M3, Matinnezhad A4, ghavami B5
Introduction:One of the most prevalent emotional-affective disorders in the present century is Anxiety. The factors conducive to anxiety and its related matters and problems have conduced to present various techniques and therapies for anxiety therapy by the therapists and theoreticians. The objective of this research is the analysis of the effectiveness rate of medical therapy and hypnotherapy in decreasing the anxiety indications. Method:Research project was experimental with pretest and posttest with control group. In line with this issue three under therapy groups were selected from the clinics simple randomly and they placed in hypnotherapy and, control and medical therapy groups. The therapy presented for medical therapy group is prescribing Benzodiazepine medications with Alprazolam group for a period of six weeks along with therapy sessions every two weeks. The therapy in hypnotherapy group is prescribing hypnosis in eight sessions, two sessions a week. For analyzing the anxiety the Cattell test before and then therapy was used. The results have been obtained, using the SPSS statistical software. Results:The hypnotherapy causes the decrease of the anxiety disorder

indications compared with no therapy(T=10/61). The medical therapy causes the decrease of the anxiety disorder compared with no therapy(T= 4/11).
Discussion and Conclusion: The results show the positive effect of therapy methods for decreasing the anxiety signs, but the hypnotherapy has more effect on decreasing the anxiety physical and mental signs compared with medical therapy. The successful using of the cognitive hypnotism makes the patient to be able to overcome the sign, which has lowered his/her self-esteem and unbalanced the patient . Key words: anxiety, Pharmacotherapy, Hypnosis Therapy.

Wavelet transform of electroencephalogram and heart rate signals during meditation


Goshvarpour Atefeh 1, Rahati S 2, Goshvarpour Ateke 3 , Saadatian V4
Introduction:In this study, we performed wavelet analysis of electroencephalogram and heart rate signals in 25 healthy women referred to meditation clinic. Methods and Materials:In order to quantify the wavelet coefficients, phase space geometry of db4 in electroencephalogram and heart rate signals are plotted in every 5 minutes of signals and the width of them are calculated. Findings: The results show that during meditation the phase space of the detail wavelet coefficients are decreased, and the approximate wavelet coefficients are increased in heart rate signals. It seems that greater dispersion of the approximate wavelet coefficients are due to the increment of standard deviation of heart rate signals. While during meditation the approximate wavelet coefficients in EEG signals exhibits greater dispersion of points than that before meditation. The present study indicated that analysis of phase space can be performed by a simple visual inspection of the shape of the attractor of wavelet coefficients, which has been used to distinct meditation from non-meditation states. Conclusion:As the brain is relaxed during meditation and fewer neurons are

contributed in mental processing; therefore, the complexity of wavelet coefficients is decreased and the phase space of them is folded.
Key words: Heart Rate, Meditation, Phase Space, Wavelet Analysis.

EEG Classification during Hypnosis


Vatankhah M1

Introduction: Hypnosis is one of the mental tasks which are really important for scientist. The human brain is obviously a complex system so diagnosing the brain pattern during hypnosis and differentiate it from other brain mental patterns is controversial. Methods and Material: in this paper, EEG signal was recorded during hypnosis and Intelligent Algorithms were used to classify the brain patterns. We use Fractal Dimension for feature extraction. To do this, features were extracted from each 1-second segment with 50% overlap, and sequence of 9 extracted features was considered as the feature vector of a 5-second segment, then PCA is used for reducing features to 9 and ANFIS is used for classification. Findings: To consider nonlinear dynamics of EEG signal, we selected nonlinear methods and it is shown that it would be useful. Non linear features and classifier are shown that brain behavior in normal state is really different from hypnosis and its patterns are classified with around 100% accuracy. According to these results, the other brain states during hypnosis and Hypnotizability would be considered for future studies. Keywords: Hypnosis, classification, Intelligent System.

Clinical evaluation of hypnotism-induced local anesthesia in Endodontics


Rezaeipour M, Bidar M, Zendehdel Roudi S
Background and Objective: In some cases in dentistry, despite an injection of local anesthetic material, the teeth with irreversible pulpitis do not become numb, or the use of common local anesthetic material is contraindicated for the patient. Therefore, in these cases an alternative treatment, especially hypodontia, the use of hypnosis in dentistry, can be introduced. The aim of this study was to determine the success rate of hypnotism in producing anesthesia in root canal therapy.

This study was conducted as a clinical trial on 42male and female volunteer patients, who referred to the department of endodontics of Mashhad Dental School for endodontic treatment of vital teeth with irreversible pulpitis. Examination forms were completed for all the patients. The patients were excluded from the study if they had any other concurrent diseases. Then, if the patient were satisfied with participation in this study, the consent forms were signed. In the presence of the patient's companion, the patient underwent hypnosis and the necessary time to reach suitable numbness was recorded. Next, the patients were conditioned to a key phrase. In the second session, with the use of a key conditioning word, hypnosis was induced more rapidly and the time to reach numbness was again recorded. The numbness was checked and confirmed by a specialist in endodontic unaware of type of intervention. When the appropriate level of numbness was present, the patient underwent endodontic treatment. The results were analyzed by Mann Whitney U, Fisher's Exact and Wilcoxon Sign Rank tests. showed that 32 patients (76.2%) reached suitable deep numbness while 10 patients (23.8%) did not reveal a suitable response. The time in which hypnotism was induced in the second session of treatment (3.8 minutes) was less than the first session (23.09 minutes). There was no significant difference between male and females in giving a positive feedback to hypnotism. Conclusion: Hypnosis was successful in inducing numbness for root canal
