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.

Full Title: Effect of self-hypnosis on duration of labor and maternal and neonatal outcomes: a randomized controlled trial.

A study conducted with 1,222 women at Aarhaus University Hosital in Denmark showed that self-hypnosis faled to show any effects on duration of childbirth and other birth outcomes. However, fewer emergency and elective cesarean sections occurred in the hypnosis group. There was no difference in the length of the expulsion phase of the second stage of labor.

The hypnosis group received three one-hour self-hypnosis lessons and an additional audio-recording intended to ease childbirth. A second relaxation group was taught mindfulness and provided appropriate audio-recordings. The third group received only the usual antenatal care.
