Numerous publications have attested to the therapeutic efficacy of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and low-intensity transcranial electrical stimulation (tES). These methods have been used in the treatment of various neurological-related conditions, such as chronic pain, cognitive disorders, movement disorders, or stroke rehabilitation. Across these different fields, evidence suggests therapeutic efficacy could be improved when combining NIBS technique in combination with another type of more commonly utilized therapeutic approaches (e.g., motor and/or cognitive training, pharmacological, physical and neurorehabilitation).

This book analyzes the growing presence of hypnosis in academic settings around the world and its implications for research, healthcare and education. The increasing volume of scientific research on hypnosis and its clinical applications to treat health conditions such as pain, anxiety, trauma and depression has renewed the interest for this kind of practice in different disciplines, such as medicine, psychology, dentistry and nursing. As a result of this growing interest, there is an increasing number of spaces occupied by hypnosis in universities of different countries compared to what occurred in recent decades. Nevertheless, what this means, at various levels, is still far from being dec...
Overreliance on the biomedical paradigm has contributed, in part, to illogical use of surgery and long-term opioid medication with harmful physical, psychological, social, and economic consequences. Pain literature is dominated by biomedical research at the expense of a holistic understanding of the lived experience of pain. Pain practice seems overly consumed with the burden of pain at an individual level (patient-centred pain management) and has neglected exploration of societal level (community-centred) or environmental level (ecologically-centred) solutions.
Non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) have become essential solutions for better living, preventing disease, and self-care, in addition to biomedical treatments, and for increasing longevity without loss of quality of life. Over the past 20 years, these practices have gone from general diet and hygiene advice to targeted and personalized solutions for prevention, care optimization, and curative treatments. Selected empirically for centuries or recently with the help of technological innovations and epigenetic, interventional, and medico-economic studies, their development is growing and diversifying around the world. Today an NPI ecosystem is made up of a myriad of public and private acto...
Le présent rapport est d’une nature un peu exceptionnelle parmi les travaux de l’OPECST car il aborde ici un sujet, en l’occurrence l’accompagnement de la fin de vie, non pas pour apporter un éclairage sur des enjeux de fond, qui relèvent des compétences de la commission des affaires sociales, mais pour évaluer les conditions de l’organisation du débat public national ayant préparé une réforme dans ce domaine. Telle est la tâche qui a été confiée à l’OPECST par l’article L. 1412-1-1 du code de la santé publique (article 46 de la loi du 7 juillet 2011 relative à la bioéthique) : « Tout projet de réforme sur les problèmes éthiques et les questions de sociétÃ...
