Hypnosis Research

Below are some research studies indicating  the effectiveness of hypnosis and hypnotherapy on various conditions.

*Important Notice - diagnosed conditions require a physician referral
Asheville NC Hypnotherapy Statistics
Hypnosis for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
​Efficacy of hypnosis-based treatment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a pilot study 

​RESULTS: One month pre-post treatment improvement in depression, anxiety, and quality of life was clearly clinically observed and confirmed by psychometric analyses on questionnaire data. Moreover, decreases in physical symptoms such as pain, sleep disorders, emotional lability, and fasciculations were reported by our patients.
Hypnosis and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
Group hypnotherapy is effective in patients with IBS.

RESULTS: There was significant symptom reduction at each data point. Sixty percent had a reduction of more than 50 points, indicative of clinical improvement. Initial severity score were directly correlated with a response to hypnotherapy, while attribution of symptoms to mind (emotional) causation was inversely correlated. The authors conclude that group hypnotherapy is effective in patients with IBS.
Hypnosis and Fracture Healing
Hypnosis may be capable of enhancing both anatomical and functional fracture healing.
​
RESULTS: ​Results showed trends toward faster healing for the hypnosis group through week 9 following injury. Objective radiographic outcome data revealed a notable difference in fracture edge healing at 6 weeks. Orthopedic assessments showing trends toward better healing for hypnosis subjects through week 9 included improved ankle mobility; greater functional ability to descend stairs; lower use of analgesics in weeks 1, 3, and 9; and trends toward lower self-reported pain through 6 weeks.
Hypnosis for Tourette Syndrome
Hypnosis results in short-term clinical response in patients with Tourette syndrome.

​
RESULTS: Seventy-nine percent of the patients trained in this technique experienced short-term clinical response, defined as control over the average 6-week follow-up period. Of the responders, 46% achieved tic control with SH after only 2 sessions and 96% after 3 visits. One patient required 4 visits.
Hypnosis for Fibromyalgia Pain
Hypnosis produced substantial changes in pain report for patients with Fibromyalgia

RESULTS: Across groups, suggestion produced substantial changes in pain report (main effect of suggestion, F2, 312 = 585.8; p < .0001), with marginally larger changes after induction (main effect of induction, F1, 312 = 3.6; p = .060). In patients, BOLD response increased with pain report in regions previously associated with pain, including thalamus and anterior cingulate cortex. In controls, BOLD response decreased with pain report. All changes were greater after induction...

Hypnosis for Brain Injury
Improving working memory performance in brain-injured patients using hypnotic suggestion

RESULTS: By the end of the study, both groups reached a performance level at or above the healthy population mean with standardized mean differences between 1.55 and 2.03 relative to the passive control group. We conclude that, if framed correctly, hypnotic suggestion can effectively improve working memory following acquired brain injury. The speed and consistency with which this improvement occurred, indicate that there may be a residual capacity for normal information processing in the injured brain.
