If your child is struggling with ongoing abdominal pain in children, discomfort, or digestive distress, and nothing seems to help, a new study published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health offers encouraging news.
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the focus of care rightly turns to survival and treatment. Yet the emotional and physical toll on young patients is immense.
In this intense context, hypnosis has quietly emerged as a valuable, evidence-based way to reduce procedural distress in children facing cancer.
Children with chronic skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis face more than just physical discomfort. The persistent itch, the urge to scratch, the stares from peers, and the emotional distress that often follows can deeply affect a child’s wellbeing.
In recent years, hypnotherapy has been increasingly recognised as a gentle, effective way to help children manage a range of emotional and physical difficulties. While many parents are understandably cautious when considering complementary therapies, a growing body of evidence suggests that hypnosis is not only safe, but also highly effective.
Recurrent abdominal pain is a common and frustrating experience for many children and their families. It can interfere with school attendance, disrupt sleep, limit social activities, and create anxiety for both the child and the parent.
