Tourette syndrome therapy malaysia - H Case

“Stress has made my son’s tics worst. My son is diagnosed with Tourette syndrome and his condition turned distressing when he was 15 years old, the year when he would sit for his PMR examination. Hamzah’s tics are very obvious, believed to be caused by the stress he received from the important exam and it had caused an impact to his academic performance. He could not control his tics as it affected his writing and concentration. Even though he was given extra time in exam, it was still very difficult for him to complete it due to his uncontrollable movement and his low concentration level. Not only that, his daily-struggle includes dealing with the jokes and sarcastic statements made by his school mates.”

“It was suffering to see him going through all these difficulties. I started to seek for all kinds of treatments for Tourette syndrome. But it is disappointing that there are not much treatments for Tourette syndrome in Malaysia. H is taking medications prescribed by hospital though it helps him to relax a bit, I would still want to look for a better solution for him. Then, I found here. I’d read through the testimonials regarding the Brain Trainer therapy in the website and the outcomes of the therapy gave me confidence to bring H here.”

“I’d been introduced to Brain Trainer, the EEG-Biofeedback treatment which can help to relieve H’s condition. According to the professional neurotherapist here, they recommended H to first take up a 20-session therapy and I decided to give it a shot. I am totally impressed by the result of the treatment as on the 15th session of the therapy, H starts to show positive feedbacks on his tics control. And his condition is remarkably improved after completing the 20th sessions of Brain Trainer.”

“H is now becoming calmer, being able to control his movement and becoming more confident. He is more sociable now and he managed to proceed to his tertiary studies on culinary art. His teacher and friends are very surprised of his improvement. Most importantly, I can see him living happier and more healthily now.”

Impact Journalism Day: Healing powers of hypnosis promoted by Swiss

In the large burns unit of the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) in Lausanne, Switzerland, hypnosis is used on a daily basis.

A study has shown that hypnosis reduces the time patients spend in intensive care and saves $26,000 a patient.

The hospital now wants to extend this insight into other departments.

"If hypnosis were a medication it would already be in all hospitals, but it is an approach, and thus it must overcome cultural barriers," says Pierre-Yves Rodondi, a doctor at the University Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine at the hospital.

"There are scientific studies, unfortunately ignored by a large part of the medical community, that demonstrate the effectiveness of hypnosis in pain management: it is a tool that should be integrated into treatment. It even works with those who are sceptical."

According to a scientific study carried out at the hospital and published in the journal Burns, hypnosis helps patients with severe burns to recover faster and cuts the cost of therapy.

The study found it reduces anxiety, the use of drugs, the overall need for anaesthetics and, on average, reduces the time spent by patients in intensive care by five days. The savings could be converted into more specialist hospital staff.

"It could be related to a lower level of stress, but this is just our hypothesis," explains Maryse Davadant, a nurse in the intensive care unit and a pioneer in the use of hypnosis at CHUV. 

"On average, we start the first session a few days after the patient is admitted, when he or she is no longer intubated and unable to concentrate.

"Then we teach them to do self-hypnosis: this is a tool that the patient will always have, and the analgesic effect lasts even after therapy.

"We have two nurses in the ICU who only do hypnosis.

"We offer it to everyone, some are aware of it and are interested, whereas others are more sceptical, but almost everyone tries it and is satisfied."
