What scientific studies assessed the efficacy of Clinical Hypnotherapy?

Yes, Hypnotherapy works! It has proved to be very effective in numerous clinical conditions and chronic pains.

Hypnosis for medical treatment is actually an ancient science and goes a long way back to about late 19th century. And many researches since then has proved it safe and effective in many critical conditions,addictions, and pain reliefs and post-operation recoveries. It is also a complementary technique with medical procedures for anxiety and stress management related to illness and treatment. There have been substantial doubts about the procedure in this proof based or evidence based medicine era.

"Hypnosis works and the empirical support is unequivocal in that regard. It really does help people," says Michael Yapko, PhD, a psychologist and fellow of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. "But hypnosis isn’t a therapy in and of itself. Most people wouldn’t regard it that way."

Hypnosis helps to create a positive and otherwise unattainable relaxed state of mind and enhances concentration and focused attention believes researchers. Hypnosis technique can be tailored according to different needs and different takers depending upon the extent of help needed. Hypnotist in Sydney have combined and tailored different treatment methods, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Hypnotherapy in Sydney has deep roots and not only in Sydney, in the early 1800s a Scottish surgeon James Esdaile, used hypnosis as the pain reliever performed for hundreds of surgeries and amputations. Edgar Glelard, another British surgeon also used Clinical Hypnotherapy for pain reliefs and recovery.

Mark P. Jensen and David R. Patterson of the University of Washington performed a long research and endorse hypnosis for chronic pain. Patients and sufferers these days also learn and try self-hypnosis to hypnotize themselves at home to reduce chronic pain, depression and anxiety, and many times for better or deep sleep also. But famous Hypnotist from Sydney believes it is dangerous to try with deep knowledge, it is safer and definitely more effective when done under the supervision of expert experienced professional or therapists.

There are many researches and studies that prove the wonderful effects of Clinical Hypnotherapy and how it has transformed lives of many, there are many positive outcomes apart from pain relief, stress management, chronic pain management, etc. It has drastically improved spinal cord functions for many which otherwise is difficult, a very long term and not successfully attained with other methods of treatment, in fact, addicts have gotten rid of their addiction with Hypnosis.
