Read more about this study here.
People use hypnosis for everything from pain management, stress management, improving sleep, improving relationships, losing weight, quitting smoking and more! There are countless accounts of people who describe physical responses and improvements during and after hypnosis that indicate there is a powerful connection between the mind and body. In this 10 year study, we can see empirical evidence of the improvements people can experience with hypnosis.
The results of this study were staggering. People who received intervention lived twice as long as those who didn't. The abstract had this to say:
The effect of psychosocial intervention on time of survival of 86 patients with metastatic breast cancer was studied prospectively. The 1-year intervention consisted of weekly supportive group therapy with self-hypnosis for pain. Both the treatment (n = 50) and control groups (n = 36) had routine oncological care. At 10-year follow-up, only 3 of the patients were alive, and death records were obtained for the other 83. Survival from time of randomisation and onset of intervention was a mean 36.6 (SD 37.6) months in the intervention group compared with 18.9 (10.8) months in the control group, a significant difference. Survival plots indicated that divergence in survival began at 20 months after entry, or 8 months after intervention ended.
