SUBJECT: adult woman.
PROBLEM: unbearable, painful menstruation since more than twenty years; need of analgesic drugs for at least 3 days; referred by her physician.
APPROACH: deep hypnosis, after the explanation that it can be definitely effective within one session; hypnotic development of sound dissociations and anaesthesias, even of extended type; loss of physical feelings; complete inability to move; suggestion to use every useful learning also after the session; awakening with an almost complete amnesia.
RESULT: period without pain, thanks to a spontaneous development of a strange, hypnotic, pleasurable, physical tiredness, which persisted entire days during her period; pre-menstrual headache no longer present.
FOLLOW-UP (2-3 years): painless period.
