2022 UKHC Speakers – Dr Teny Gomez and Fredric Mau: Hypnotic Technology for Pain Relief at Home

Mau and Gomez

At this year’s UK Hypnosis Convention, we have a couple of presentations with two presenters. We welcome back a UKHC favourite, Fredric May who will be joined by his colleague Dr Teny Henry Gomez. They will present: “Hypnotic Technology for Pain Relief at Home – Virtual Reality Assisted Guided Imagery (VR-AGI) for Patients with Advanced Cancer” and will be exclusively sharing some of their recent research findings, we’re in for a treat.

This presentation will describe the first-ever randomized controlled human trial of virtual reality assisted guided imagery in a home setting.
