Can Hypnosis Speed Healing?
Doctors and other health professionals have long debated whether the use of hypnosis can speed the body’s natural ability to heal. The answer to that question became much clearer following the release of two studies conducted at Harvard University’s McLean Hospital in Massachusetts. An article about those studies appeared in Harvard Magazine.
In the first clinical trial, similar patients with similar bone fractures were divided into two groups. Both groups received the same orthopedic treatment including casts; however, one group received follow-up hypnotherapy and the other group did not. The hypnosis included guided imagery and suggestions of rapid healing.
At the end of six week, radiologist, who had no knowledge of who had received hypnotherapy and who had not, examined each patient and their x-rays and concluded that group that did not receive hypnotherapy had healed at a normal rate that would be expected at the six week mark; however, the group that received hypnosis had healed at a rate that would be expected at the eight week mark—a clear two week’s healing advantage for the hypnotherapy group.
In a second study, also conducted at Harvard’s McLean hospital in conjunction with the Union Institute, a group of women who had similar health histories and who had undergone similar surgical procedures were divided into three groups. The first group received hypnotherapy following surgery, the second group received standard psychotherapy following surgery, and the third group did not receive any post-surgery therapy. All groups received the same basic medical treatment throughout the study.
For seven weeks after surgery, Registered Nurses, who had no knowledge of groupings, followed and documented wound healing. The group that received hypnotherapy healed significantly faster than the other two groups, and the group that received psychotherapy healed faster than the group that received no therapy, but not nearly as fast as the group that received hypnosis treatment. At the end of the seven weeks’ period, the results were also confirmed by physicians who examined a series of photos for each patient.
The bottom line is that there is significant evidence suggesting that properly conducted hypnotherapy significantly helps the body’s ability to heal. While it is important to always seek competent wound care from a medical doctor or other medical professional, these finding hold important implications for anyone who is healing from an accident or medical incurred wound.
