"Brain Zapping Technique Enhances Hypnotizability, Stanford Study Finds"
Researchers at Stanford University have discovered that electrical brain stimulation can make people more susceptible to hypnosis. By applying transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to the prefrontal cortex, they found that participants with fibromyalgia became significantly easier to hypnotize, potentially improving the effectiveness of hypnosis as a treatment for chronic pain. The effect, however, was temporary, dissipating within an hour. This breakthrough could enhance pain management strategies for conditions like fibromyalgia, which affects millions of adults. The study's results were published in the journal Nature Mental Health.
