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

This study sought to determine whether hypnosis could be used as an intervention for painful HIV distal sensory polyneuropathy (HIV-DSP), which is the most common nervous system disorder in HIV patients. 36 volunteers received three weekly sessions in self-hypnosis for a 17 week protocol. The results were positive and supported the use of hypnosis.
