Findings:

  • Hypnotherapy was administered for depression, pain, anxiety, and chemotherapy side-effects.
  • Excellent symptom relief was achieved in 68% of patients.
  • Fair and poor results were observed in 22% and 11% of patients, respectively.
  • No significant differences in outcomes were noted across various conditions.

Implications:

  • Hypnotherapy demonstrates significant utility in managing diverse patient conditions within a CLS setting.
  • This approach can enhance traditional treatment protocols for medically hospitalized patients.
  • Further research into hypnotherapy's role in integrated care is supported.
