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

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 an increasing trend to use hypnosis in other medical fields as well
Hypnose ist wirksam und effektiv bei kurzer Behandlungsdauer
Hypnose-Therapie bietet bei einer vergleichsweiser kurzen Anwendungsdauer heute ein breites Angebot von medizinischen, psychosomatischen und psychotherapeutischen Behandlungen. Bei relativ kurzer Behandlungsdauer wird Hypnose effektiv und nachhaltig. Das ist ein Ergebnis, das sich so nicht bei den bekannten Verfahren der Psychotherapie, die in Deutschland von den gesetzlichen Krankenkassen erstattet werden, sagen kann. Dazu zählen die Verhaltenstherapie (VT), die tiefenpsychologisch fundierte Psychotherapie, die analytische Psychotherapie und ganz neu seit Juli 2020 und ausschließlich für Erwachsene die systemische Therapie.
