Term: Glove Anesthesia

DEFINITION:
One of the techniques used by hypnotists to relieve pain. The method is to induce a trance and then create deep anesthesia in one hand. This anesthesia is then sent to the area of the body that is painful. It should not be attempted without the referral from an M.D., as pain may be hiding something more serious than just the pain.
