How Effective is Hypnosis?

Countless scientific and university studies show the benefits and effectiveness of Hypnotherapy.

 

Hypnosis can be traced back to nearly all cultures worldwide, but its modern form didn't emerge until the late 1700s with Dr. Franz Mesmer, who also brought the Western concept of psychotherapy to the world. Since the 1950s, Hypnosis has been recognized by the American Medical Association as a valid medical procedure, and today it is acclaimed by neuroscientists, Ivy League University researchers, physicians, and wellness gurus alike.

There are many myths about what Hypnosis is and what it isn't. Let the articles and peer-reviewed research studies below shed light on the vast uses and benefits of the hypnotherapeutic technique on health and wellbeing.

Here are four notable ones to start:

 

1) Dr. David Spiegel, Chair of Psychiatry at Stanford University, has devoted his career, to researching over 7,000 patients using fMRI to explore how well Hypnosis works, finding Hypnosis gave way to significant changes in brain activity from muscle function, awareness, pain receptivity, with the main focus on the success of replacing opioids with Hypnosis for pain management.

 

2) A 10-study meta-analysis on weight loss and Hypnosis concluded that the subjects who used Hypnosis lost twice as much weight as those who did not and kept it off years after treatment ended.

 

3) Time Magazine's take on studies showing the scientific validity of using Hypnosis for smoking cessation, modulating anxiety, pain, weight loss, and PTSD.

 

4) Dr. Cornelie Schweizer, Dr. Kristina Fuhr, Dr. Christoph Meisner, and Dr. Anil Batra's research study shows the efficacy of using hypnotherapy compared to cognitive-behavioral therapy for mild-to-moderate depression.
