Forum: Neurology Forum
Topic: Sleep


Can events that occured during sleep walking be recalled with hypnosis?
Also it it possible to cure or prevent sleep walking through hypnosis?


HYPNOSIS IS RARELY IF EVER PRACTICED BY NEUROLOGISTS AND NOT ONE OF THE 40
PLUS NEUROLOGISTS IN OUR GROUP PRACTICES THIS TECHNIQUE.
HYPNOSIS IS NOT PART OF THE STANDARD THERAPY OF SLEEP WALKING,
AND NO THERAPUTIC TRIALS HAVE EVER BEEN CONDUCTED IN ITS USE.
THERE IS NO ffda APPROVAL FOR THE USE OF HYPNOSIS IN THIS CONDITION AND
TRAINING IN HYPNOSIS IS NOT PART OF NEUROLOGICAL TRAINING, SO UNFORTUNATELY
WE CANNOT COMMENT ON ITS USE IN THIS SITUATION. yOU WOULD PROBABLY BE MORE
LIKELY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION ON THESE QUESTIONS FROM SOMEONE WHO PRACTICES
HYPNOSIS REGULARLY, FEW NEUROLOGISTS DO HOWEVER.
