National Institutes of Health Studies Hypnosis
News comes from Dr. Anne Spencer that the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) at the National Institutes of Health http://nccam.nih.gov/
has a lot of information on hypnosis and hypnotherapy. Just visit the above site and search for the terms “hypnosis” and/or “hypnotherapy” to discover the material covered over the last few years of research into Complementary Medicine.
What’s more the NIH is sponsoring clinical research in hypnosis. Yes, that’s right, NCCAM has been funding clinical research on hypnosis, and you can find the clinical trial descriptions at that link. Some of them are still recruiting. If any researchers are interested in seeking advice or assistance from Clinical Hypnotherapists, they may call the office of the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners.
