Abstract

Surgery is a medical procedure that can cause perioperative pain. Pain in the perioperative phase that received by the patient can cause various complications. Hypnosis is a part of complementary and alternative therapies that are able to cope with pain. The purpose of the review is to perform a systematic review of the literature. Hypnosis is a part of complementary and alternative therapies that are able to cope with pain in surgery. A comprehensive article search through EBSCO, PROQUEST, and Scopus, the original article was sought in the period of publication between 1999 and 2019. The original articles reported on the effectiveness of hypnosis with surgical patient inclusion criteria. A total of 1994 studies have been identified in the literature search. However, only 27 studies were eligible for analysis in this study. The instruments used were visual analogue scale and numeric rating scale questionnaire were used to identify the level of pain in the study. The outcome revealed that hypnosis can decrease level of pain in each perioperative phase significantly. Further research needs to be done to add strong evidence about the use of hypnosis for perioperative pain management.
