| In much the same way, hypnosis for pain is not a cure and may not completely eliminate the pain. However, it can help reduce the level of pain, sometimes to the point where the individuals quality of life can be greatly improved. Overcoming pain with hypnosis isn't impossible.
The individual can be taught, while in a hypnotic state, the skills to reduce their pain and then, with practice, they can learn to utilize these same skills to reduce their pain for themselves.
