As an example, Lars-Eric Unest\u00e5hl used \u201dloss of reaction to electric shock stimulation\u201d as a criterion for \u201dspontaneous trance\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clinical studies<\/strong><br \/>\nThis eventually led to the methods being tested in various clinical contexts. Lars-Eric Unest\u00e5hl began collaborating with Associate Professor Basil Finer, and a series of operations were performed at Samariterhemmet in Uppsala using self-hypnosis as the sole method of pain relief.<br \/>\nEventually, self-hypnosis and mental training became common pain relief methods, for example in connection with antenatal care and childbirth. At the same time, we launched a number of studies to investigate the effect of these methods on chronic pain. Through systematic training, even patients with severe chronic pain conditions were able to learn to manage and control their pain. At the pain clinics that were established around the country, self-hypnosis and mental training became an important tool in the arsenal of methods, and in some places, special services such as \u201dmental trainers\u201d were established.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nSelf-training<\/strong><br \/>\nTo facilitate the work at these clinics and to facilitate home training, which became an important part of the treatment, I created a number of self-instructional training programmes. Among the evaluations that have been made of these programmes are those carried out at Helsingborg Hospital, where Hans Olsson has been employed as a mental trainer since the early 1990s. In a number of research reports, Olsson has reported significant and lasting effects even on patients who have suffered from pain for many years. However, not everyone with pain problems has the privilege of receiving treatment at a pain clinic. I have therefore decided to make these training programmes available to anyone who needs and is interested in them. This is done, among other things, through this training programme.<\/p>\n<p>Acute and chronic pain<br \/>\nThis training programme includes two programmes for acute pain and two programmes for chronic pain. These programmes are not structured in a series but can be used independently of each other. However, each of these programmes will be significantly more effective if you first complete the training known as \u201dBasic Mental Training\u201d. If you have not trained mentally before, I therefore recommend that you complete the four programmes in the training programme called \u201dBasic Mental Training\u201d before starting this training programme.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mental tr\u00e4ning vid sm\u00e4rta Lars-Eric Unest\u00e5hl startade p\u00e5 60-talet Avdelningen f\u00f6r klinisk och experimentell hypnos vid Uppsala Universitet, en avdelning, d\u00e4r man under en tio\u00e5rsperiod genomf\u00f6rde ett 50-tal studier om effekten av alternativa medvetandetillst\u00e5nd p\u00e5 s\u00e5v\u00e4l kroppsliga som \u201dsj\u00e4lsliga\u201d funktioner.
