“This was the first surgery of my life, but it was a beautiful experience. When I opened my eyes, I felt only a mild and totally manageable pain. If I ever need another procedure, I’d want to do it under hypnosis again,” said a patient who underwent a procedure to treat cardiac arrhythmia using hypnosis at the hospital in Cuneo.

The operation was carried out with a team of nurses trained since 2023 at the Italian Center for Experimental Clinical Hypnosis in Turin. “It was strange to see so many doctors around me, then the nurse started talking to me and guiding my thoughts elsewhere."
