First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at whether two sessions of hypnosis could lower anxiety in pregnant women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). 60 women took part, with some receiving hypnosis and others standard care. The goal was to see if hypnosis helps reduce anxiety and improve other outcomes like bonding and childbirth experience.

Active substance
hypnosis
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease anxiety for women with PPROM during pregnancy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Hypnosis may not work for all women, and the effect on anxiety might be modest.
