    AbstractA randomised trial published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia describes hypnosis compared with general anaesthesia in 60 children undergoing superficial surgery. We describe a definition of clinical hypnosis; the goals and conduct of hypnotic communication; and its potential as both an adjunct and, in suitable cases, alternative to traditional pharmacological anaesthesia.Copyright © 2023 British Journal of Anaesthesia.
