A Critical Review of the Literature
Christina Liossi, Ph.D.
The aim of the present paper is to critically evaluate the current literature on the use of
hypnosis in the pediatric oncology setting. The studies conducted in the fields of proce-dure-
related pain management and chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting man-agement
are reviewed. A detailed summary is provided for each study including infor-mation
about the subjects, experimental design, assessment measures, treatment proto-col,
outcome and follow-up. Future challenges for hypnosis research in the area of pro-cedure-
related pain and chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting are discussed.
