Sensitivity and specificity of hypnosis effects on gastric myoelectrical activity.
<h4>Objectives</h4>The effects of hypnosis on physiological (gastrointestinal) functions are incompletely understood, and it is unknown whether they are hypnosis-specific and gut-specific, or simply unspecific effects of relaxation.<h4>Design</h4>Sixty-two healthy female volu...
