| Hypnosis and Stress "Ohio State University College of Medicine analyzed the effects of hypnotic-relaxation training on cellular immune function during a stressful event. Control subjects showed stress-related decreases in immune cell proliferative responses to two mitogens and percentages of CD3+ and CD4+ T-lymphocytes and interleukin-1 production by peripheral blood leukocytes. Subjects who underwent hypnosis-relaxation were, on average, protected from these immunological changes . More frequent hypnotic-relaxation practice resulted in higher percentages of CD3+ and CD4+ T-lymphocytes." Conclusion: The results provide encouraging evidence that hypnosis- relaxation can reduce detrimental immune function changes associated with acute stress . - Kiecolt-Glaser JK et al. Hypnosis as a modulator of cellular immune dysregulation during acute stress. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology 69 (4): 674-82. Aug 2001. |
| Smoking Cessation No one can guarantee you will stop smoking after one session. But here are some results that were statistically generated in a controlled study. It shows single session hypnosis increased a smoker's success chance by 1000% from 6% to 60%. COMPARATIVE SUCCESS RATES 60%- Single session hypnosis 24%- Acupuncture 10%- Nicotine Replacement Therapy 6%- Willpower alone - New Scientist, vol. 136, issue 1845, Oct 31, 1992. Most clients do better than 60% success with multiple session one-on-one hypnotherapy. |
| Irritable Bowels Syndrome "Hypnosis improves Irritable Bowels Syndrome (IBS) but the mechanism of action is unknown. In two studies, possible physiological and psychological mechanisms were investigated. All IBS symptoms improved substantially in both studies. Rectal pain thresholds, rectal smooth muscle tone, and autonomic functioning remained unchanged in the study. However somatization and psychological distress showed large decreases." - Palsson OS, Turner MJ, Johnson DA, Burnelt CK, Whitehead WE.

| Hypnosis, Stress and Immune Function "Department of Cognitive Neuroscience and Behavior, Imperial College Medical School, St. Dunstan's Road, London W6 8RF, UK, evaluated the effects of self-hypnosis training on immune function and mood in medical students at exam time." Conclusion: The sizeable influences on cell-mediated immunity achieved by a relatively brief, low-cost psychological intervention (Clinical Hypnosis) in the face of a compelling, but routine, stress in young healthy adults have implications for illness prevention and for patients with compromised immunity." - Gruzelier J et al.

| Athletic Performance Enhancement "Investigated the effects of hypnosis on set- and jump-shooting performance among male collegiate basketball players (aged 17-19 yrs). A single-subject ABA research design combined with a procedure that monitors the internal experience of the participants (N. Wollman, 1986) was implemented. The results indicate that all 3 participants increased their mean jump- and set- shooting performance from baseline to intervention, with all 3 participants returning to baseline levels of performance postintervention phase. Finally, each participant reported they had felt the intervention had increased sensations they associated with peak performance . These results support the hypothesis that a hypnosis intervention can improve jump- and set-shooting performance and increase feelings and cognitions that are associated with peak performance." - Pates, J., Maynard, I. , Westbury, T. An investigation into the effects of hypnosis on basketball performance. Journal of Applied Sport Psychology, Vol 31(1), Mar 2001. pp. 84-102. |
