Background/Methods:
This article presents the results of the application of hypnotherapy for obstetrics with a special focus on the hypnoreflexogenous method of childbirth preparation.
Results/Conclusion:
The programme specifically developed by Schauble as the hypnoreflexogenous method is an appropiate and efficient tool to interrupt the fear-tension-pain / pain-tension-fear circuit. Women who were prepared with the hypnoreflexogenous method had significantly less fear and pain, required significantly less analgesia, had a shorter period of labour and delivery and recovered faster from labour.
