Is hypnotherapy proven to be effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy is effective in many conditions, especially (but not only) those in which anxiety plays a role. It uses exercises that bring about deep relaxation and an altered state of consciousness, also known as a trance. It can teach a person to dial down and self-regulate pain; it helps with fear of medical procedures too. http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/hypnotherapy-000353.htm/.
