Summary

This small pilot study tested whether teaching family caregivers of elderly people at home to practice self-hypnosis daily for 8 weeks could help reduce their chronic stress. Fourteen caregivers participated, with some starting self-hypnosis right away and others waiting 16 weeks before training. The main goal was to see if the program was feasible, not to prove it works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
self-hypnosis training and daily practice
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way for caregivers to manage daily stress at home.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (14 participants) focused on feasibility, not proof of effectiveness. Results may not apply to all caregivers.
