Scientifically Proven: The Efficacy and Effectiveness of Hypnosis
Study on the effectiveness of hypnosis
Erich Flammer has compiled results of clinical studies on the effectiveness of hypnosis therapy in a meta-analysis. This meta-analysis covers the period from 1887 to 2009. 188 controlled studies with 10150 patients are the content of his meta-analysis. Of these, 91 studies used hypnosis as a complementary psychotherapeutic treatment. 68 studies were related to psychosomatic disorders (such as chronic pain, allergies, irritable bowel syndrome), 14 studies were related to hypnosis for anxiety. 16 studies focused on other disorders.

Study on the effectiveness of hypnosis
Flammer was able to determine that hypnosis therapy can be very effective on average of 5 hypnosis treatments. It can also be assumed by the meta-analysis that hypnosis therapy continues to have an effect. A later meta-analysis by Hagl was able to confirm these trends. Hagl also describes a growing trend to use hypnosis in other medical fields.
Hypnosis is effective and efficient with relatively short treatment time
Hypnotherapy today offers a wide range of medical, psychosomatic and psychotherapeutic treatments with a comparatively short duration of use. With a relatively short duration of treatment, hypnosis becomes effective and sustainable. This is a result that cannot be said of the well-known methods of psychotherapy that are reimbursed by the statutory health insurance funds in Germany. These include behavioral therapy (VT), depth psychology-based psychotherapy, analytical psychotherapy and, brand new since July 2020 and exclusively for adults, systemic therapy.
