Perceptions of hypnotherapy for children with functional abdominal pain: a qualitative study
Despite controversy about its use, hypnotherapy for functional abdominal pain is considered as a treatment option in primary care. Attitudes of children and parents influenced their willingness to use hypnotherapy. Effective implementation requires good information about hypnotherapy, a good GP-patient relationship, and clear and reliable referral options for hypnotherapy.
