Abstract
Studies have shown impact of hypnosis on pain management. The current case study is focused to find the impact of a novel hypnotic technique for headache management. Unpublished data on this novel therapy has shown significant impact on pain management including headache. Client was gone through a complete observation and clinical interview. For the management of headache, a novel hypnotic intervention, Circle Therapy (CT), was applied. Before the induction of CT, the intensity of the headache was measured through a subjective rating scale i.e. from 0 to 10. The client indicated the intensity of pain at 9 on subjective rating scale. Post hypnosis rating was also measured i.e.0. This brief intervention provided an immediate relief from headache, however, this is limited to single case. So, there is need to see the effect of CT on more cases and/or with different types of pain.
