“…A growing body of research supports the efficacy of hypnosis and hypnotic treatments for benefiting individuals with a variety of conditions including acute pain (Landolt & Milling, 2011; Madden, Middleton, Cyna, Matthewson, & Jones, 2012; G. H. Montgomery, DuHamel, & Redd, 2000; Patterson & Jensen, 2003; Tomé-Pires & Miró, 2012), chronic pain (Elkins, Jensen, & Patterson, 2007; Jensen & Patterson, 2006; Jensen, 2009; G.…”

Evidence supports the efficacy of hypnotic treatments, but there remain many unresolved questions regarding how hypnosis produces its beneficial effects. Most theoretical models focus more or less on biological, psychological, and social factors. This scoping review summarizes the empirical findings regarding the associations between specific factors in each of these domains and response to hypnosis. The findings indicate that: (1) no single factor appears primary; (2) different factors may contribute more or less to outcomes in different subsets of individuals or for different conditions; and (3) comprehensive models of hypnosis that incorporate factors from all 3 domains may ultimately prove to be more useful than more restrictive models that focus on 1 or a very few factors.

“…Medical management of labour and birth are now part of the childbirth education teaching curriculum and accepted as part of normal birth (Ferguson et al, 2013;Lothian, 2007Lothian, , 2008aWalker, Visger, & Rossie, 2009). The literature supports the notion that antenatal educational interventions, including psychoprophylaxis and hypnosis, increases feelings of confidence and agency, but demonstrate little impact on reducing interventions and associated morbidity (Bergström, Kieler, & Waldenström, 2009;Byrne, Hauck, Fisher, Bayes, & Schutze, 2014;Cyna et al, 2013;Downe et al, 2015;Gagnon & Sandall, 2007;Koehn, 2002;Madden, Middleton, Cyna, Matthewson, & Jones, 2012).…”

“…The HATCh trial represents the best‐quality evidence to date investigating the effects of hypnosis training on analgesia use during childbirth . The negative findings may convince many that it is ineffective in the clinical environment we have explored, irrespective of timing or techniques, and it may not be worthwhile pursuing lengthier and less feasible approaches in the hope of gaining benefit in a tertiary referral setting with an ‘on demand’ epidural service.…”

Objective To determine the use of pharmacologic analgesia during childbirth when antenatal hypnosis is added to standard care.Design Randomised controlled clinical trial, conducted from December 2005 to December 2010.Setting The largest tertiary referral centre for maternity care in South Australia.Population A cohort of 448 women at >34 weeks of gestation, with a singleton pregnancy and cephalic presentation, planning a vaginal birth. Exclusions were: the need for an interpreter; preexisting pain; psychiatric illness; younger than 18 years; and previous experience of hypnosis for childbirth.Methods All participants received usual care. The group of women termed Hypnosis + CD (hypnotherapist guided) were offered three antenatal live hypnosis sessions plus each session's corresponding audio CD for further practise, as well as a final fourth CD to listen to during labour. The group of women termed CD only (nurse administered) were played the same antenatal hypnosis CDs as group 1, but did not receive live hypnosis training. The control group participants were given no additional intervention or CDs.Main outcome measure Use of pharmacological analgesia during labour and childbirth.Results No difference in the use of pharmacological analgesia during labour and childbirth was found comparing hypnosis + CD with control (81.2 versus 76.2%; relative risk, RR 1.07; 95% confidence interval, 95% CI 0.95-1.20), or comparing CD only with control (76.9 versus 76.2%, RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.89-1.15).Conclusions Antenatal group hypnosis using the Hypnosis Antenatal Training for Childbirth (HATCh) intervention in late pregnancy does not reduce the use of pharmacological analgesia during labour and childbirth.
