ABSTRACT
Introduction: The use of hypnosis for medical conditions is very old, and it has progressed with
the time from studies better and better designed. That’s why, it is considered important the
knowledge of its therapeutic value.
Objective: Assess the quality of the investigation about the effectiveness of clinical hypnosis in Medicine, and systematize its empirical evidence in this field.
Methods: Studies published up to 2015 were reviewed in this paper. Chambless and Hollon’s
(1998) and Nathan and Gorman’s (1998, 2015) criteria were taken into account for the selection
of the studies. PubMed, PsycInfo, PsycArticles, Psyke and Psicodoc were the database consulted.
Results: Hypnosis is considered effective as something that helps cognitive-behavioral therapy
for several medical conditions. It is probably effective in oncological and odontological
procedures, and a promising intervention in diabetes and the human papilloma virus. Since 2009
till 2015 there has been an increase of studies about hypnosis, however as a tendency, the
quality of the investigations has not improved, and the inclusion of it in intervention guides is
not sufficiently extended.
Conclusions: Future studies using more thorough methodology, above all in some fields of
Medicine that do not have studies of good quality yet, as well as the training of health
professionals in the management of hypnosis, and the inclusion of it in medical protocols in
areas where there is enough evidence, are considered very important.
