Eitner, S., Wichmann, M., & Hoist S. (2005). A long-term therapeutic concept for patients with a severe gag reflex. International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, 53 (1), 74-86. The authors further describe their techniques of "Hypnopuncture" in this second case report in the January 2005 issue. Describes the case of a 48-year-old male who presents with a history of possessing a severe gag reflex which is successfully treated with 5 sessions of training in hypnopuncture. The authors assert that the synergy between their methods of hypnosis and acupuncture is responsible for producing results that are greater in magnitude than when either method is employed by itself.
