description: The cue-controlled modification of the level of vigilance, as one of the methods of the self-control, appeared to be a practicable therapeutic intervention for the intentional inhibition of epileptic seizures in some special cases of epilepsy. The authors worked out such a variation of the above self-control technique, in which the aura imagined in hypnosis was associated with the change in vigilance in patients suffering from partial epilepsy, in order to enable them to try to inhibit the epileptic fits with this associated modification of the level of alertness during auras. The authors report two cases of intractable partial epileptic patients, in which the patients applied this self-control method. The first patient carried out intentional seizure inhibition in 73 cases over one year, reducing the frequency of the fits from the previous 115 to 77. In the second case, the patient was also able to considerably decrease the number of epileptic auras by applying the technique, consequently the number of auras decreased to 7 compared with the 38 fits observed in the previous 8 months, further he was able to terminate the attack in 6 cases out of auras. The authors think that their method might be useful for a certain group of patients suffering from partial epilepsy to inhibit epileptic attacks, introducing a new possibility in the management of intractable cases.
