First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether medical hypnosis can lower stress and make a hospital stay better for people with chronic diseases. 24 adults staying in an internal medicine unit took part. One group received a hypnosis technique called "the place of safety," while the other group received standard care. The researchers measured anxiety levels at discharge to see if hypnosis helped.
