User Outcomes for an App-Delivered Hypnosis Intervention for Menopausal Hot Flashes: Retrospective Analysis

User Outcomes for an App-Delivered Hypnosis Intervention for Menopausal Hot Flashes: Retrospective Analysis

Hypnosis is a state of consciousness involving focused attention and reduced peripheral awareness characterized by an enhanced capacity for response to suggestion [22]. Hypnosis is a safe, nonhormonal, nonpharmacological treatment with minimal to no adverse events [15,20,21]. However, face-to-face hypnotherapy for hot flashes has limited accessibility for many women.

Characteristics of Users of a Digital Hypnotherapy Intervention for Hot Flashes: Retrospective Study

Hypnotherapy, the use of hypnosis for a medical disorder or concern, has been shown to be effective in reducing hot flashes [14,15]. In a clinical trial that examined the efficacy of hypnotherapy for reducing hot flashes among breast cancer survivors, it was found that hypnotherapy reduced hot flashes by approximately 68% from baseline to intervention end point and this was significantly greater than controls [14].

Effect of Virtual Reality Hypnosis on Pain Threshold and Neurophysiological and Autonomic Biomarkers in Healthy Volunteers: Prospective Randomized Crossover Study

Several of these interventions have already proven to have some efficacy in addressing various pain states, including (but not restricted to) modulation of attention, hypnosis, musicotherapy, or physical exercises [3-6]. The development of digital tools such as virtual reality (VR) portable systems represents a unique opportunity for the treatment of pain, as these tools can combine several of these nonpharmacological treatments/methods in easy-to-use e Health solutions.

Bispectral Index Alterations and Associations With Autonomic Changes During Hypnosis in Trauma Center Researchers: Formative Evaluation Study

Bispectral Index Alterations and Associations With Autonomic Changes During Hypnosis in Trauma Center Researchers: Formative Evaluation Study

Several studies have documented the effects of hypnosis on skin conductance, expired carbon dioxide, respiratory rate, electromyography (EMG), and skin temperature values. Two relatively recent studies have demonstrated that hypnosis is associated with reductions in skin conductance values [8,29]. We found that only a single study investigated expired carbon dioxide measurements during hypnosis [30].
