| Abstract | Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is an extremely common surgery in sports medicine and orthopedic surgery. This surgery requires creating tunnels in bones (femur and tibia), which is often associated with severe pain and thus general or neuraxial anesthesia should be applied to mitigate pain and anxiety. This paper follows our previous case report of hypnoanesthesia in hand surgery, discussing the application of hypnosis as a non-pharmacologic intervention for controlling intraoperative and postoperative pain and anxiety, which can contribute to postoperative recovery of patients with ACL surgery. According to the results of this study, it seems better to teach hypnosis as a pain control protocol to anesthesia residents and pain service staff. Also, hypnosis can be considered an anxiety reduction strategy in perioperative phases and also useful for postoperative pain management. | en |
