NEW STUDY REPORTS 70% EXPERIENCE RELIEF WITH HYPNOSIS
IBS effects 20% of the US population. However, there is no cure for IBS. The characteristics of IBS may include chronic abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and nausea. It is one of the most cited reasons for work absences. It can severely diminish the quality of life for sufferers.
A study released in 2008 at the Wythenshawe Hospital in England reported that 70% of IBS patients received relief with hypnosis.
In addition, the November 2008 issue of US World & News Reports noted that Studies have shown that mind-body techniques such as cognitive theropy and hypnosis are effective in reducing the symptoms if IBS."
"Although there have been no head to head
comparisons the results of these studies do look a little more impressive than pharmacological
studies," says Nicholas Talle, gastroenterologist who's chair of the Dept. of Internal Medicine at
the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL.
In some cases the side effects of the prescribed drugs are as bad as the symptoms resulting in poor compliance with those patients. Zelnorm, a popular drug for treatment of IBS is restricted to only the most serious cases due to cardiological problems.
Adraine Fugh-Berman, MD, chair of the Women’s Health Network in Washington, DC says that hypnosis should be the treatment of choice for IBS cases which have not responded to conventional therapy.
