Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness that comprises of heightened absorption in focal attention, dissociation of peripheral awareness, and enhanced responsiveness to social cues. Hypnosis has a long tradition of effectiveness in controlling somatic symptoms, such as pain. Pain, the most common symptom in clinical practice, is a multi-dimensional experience, which includes sensory-discriminative, affective-emotional, cognitive and behavioral components. There is a growing recognition for hypnosis and related techniques in pain management. Psychological approaches to pain control, such as hypnosis, can be highly effective analgesics, but are underused in Korea.

Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) among several irritating spices tested was highly effective on the duration of hexobarbital hypnosis in mice. Pretreatment of mice with the methanolic extract of black pepper (60mg/kg i.p.) prolonged markedly the duration of hexobarbital sleeping time. Three consecutive daily administrations of the same dose of black pepper extract, however, shortened (37%) the duration of hexobarbital sleeping time. The ether soluble fraction of black pepper extract caused most potent effects on the duration of hexobarbital hypnosis. From the above results, it was postulated that the lipid soluble components of black pepper might considerably change the drug action and metabolism by altering drug metabolizing enzyme systems.

The effect of wild vegetables such as Allium tuberosum, Allium monanthum, Sedum sarmentosum, Ixeris dentata and Capsella-bursa pastoris on hexobarbital induced hypnosis was tested in mice. Among them, the methanol extract of Allium tuberosum exhibited significant lengthening of the barbiturate hypnosis. When various fractions prepared from the methanol extract of the Allium tuberosum were administered, the chloroform, ethylacetate and butanol extracts caused a significant activity. Through systematic fractionation by $SiO_2$ column monitoring by bioassays, $1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-{\beta}-carboline$ 3-carboxylic acid from the butanol extract was isolated as one of the active principles of this plant.

hypnosis(최면<술>)는 문자기록의 역사만큼이나 오래되었다. 1773년 Franz A.Mesmer는 의학분야에서 ‘최면술(mesmerism)'이란 용어를 사용하였으며, James Braid는 'hypnosis'란 용어를 최초로 사용하였고, Sigmund Frend는 치료의 한 형태로서 최면상태(hypnotic trance)를 연구하였으며, Hennon은 최과임상에서 사용되어지는 Hypnosis를 Hypnodontics라고 기술하였고, 실제 임상에 Hypnosis를 적용시키기 위해서는 따로 최면요법에 대한 수련을 쌓아야 한다고 하였다. 현재 임상에서 최면요법을 이용하고 있는 임상가는 그리 흔하지 않는 것 같으나 만약 습득만 한다면 행동조절의 한 방법으로서 유요하게 이용될 수 있으리라고 생각한다.
