Hypnotic Relaxation Therapy Minimizes Hot Flashes

The research was published online this week in The Journal of Clinical Oncology.

In the study, 26 women who are breast cancer survivors received hypnotic relaxation therapy and were compared to 25 other breast cancer survivors who did not receive treatment. The women who received hypnosis reported a 68 percent decrease in hot flashes. Anxiety, depression and insomnia also decreased.
