“…For example, hypnosis has been shown to: 1) improve fatigue in breast cancer radiotherapy patients (Montgomery et al, 2014), fibromyalgia patients (Haanen et al, 1991; Picard et al, 2013), breast cancer surgery patients (Montgomery et al, 2007), and cancer survivors (Mendoza et al, 2016); 2) improve sleep disturbances in PTSD patients (Abramowitz, Barak, Ben-Avi, & Knobler, 2008), and sleep onset insomnia (Stanton, 1989); and, 3) improve pain across a wide variety of contexts (Montgomery, David, Winkel, Silverstein, & Bovbjerg, 2002; Montgomery, DuHamel, & Redd, 2000). However, at this time, there appears to be an overall lack of empirical evidence supporting the use of hypnosis for appetite loss and dyspnea in any context.…”
