Welcome to The International Hypnosis Research Institute Web site. Our intention is to support and promote the further worldwide integration of comprehensive evidence-based research and clinical hypnotherapy with mainstream mental health, medicine, and coaching. We do so by disseminating, supporting, and conducting research, providing professional level education, advocating increased level of practitioner competency, and supporting the viability and success of clinical practitioners. Although currently over 80% of our membership is comprised of mental health practitioners, we fully recognize the role, support, involvement, and needs of those in the medical and coaching fields. This site is not intended as a source of medical or psychological advice. Tim Brunson, PhD

Hypnotherapy in the Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Methods and Results in Amsterdam

In an exploratory study by Vidakovic-Vukic in Amsterdam, 27 patients with irritable bowel syndrome were treated with hypnotherapy, along with standard care. Of those 27, two stopped the therapy prematurely, and one remained symptomatic.

The other 24 patients experienced clear improvement. Pain and flatulence was either reduced or disappeared completely, and bowel habits normalized. This compared very favorably to results obtained with standard care alone. The study concludes that hypnotherapy is a valuable addition to the conventional treatment of IBS.
