The first 250 people treated at the unit filled out a questionnaire before starting the program and again after three months for comparisons. Participants scored themselves on such items as presence and severity of IBS symptoms, quality of life, and level of anxiety and depression. All had suffered from the painful bowel disorder for two years or more and had failed to get real relief from other treatments. Each participant had one hypnotherapy session per week. A total of 232 participants continued the hypnotherapy trratment and filled out a final set of questionnaires at the end of three months. The researchers found that bowel habit improved in 78% of patients, while not changing much in 13%. It only deteriorated slightly in 9%. Many patients indicated that their sense of overall well-being soared and that associated anxiety and depression eased considerably. The only subgroup of participants that did not respond to hypnotherapy were males with diarrhoea. The university's specialized Hypnotherapy Unit was established in response to indications that hypnosis could make a big difference in the lives of people with IBS, a bowel disorder that causes millions abdominal pain, bloating, and other problems. Many miss weeks of work and are depressed as a result of their illness, and consider their quality of life quite poor. This large-scale review confirms the wisdom of treating IBS with hypnotherapy. In just three months, symptoms such as pain and bloating, as well as the level of so-called "disease interference" with life, changed profoundly for most participants. The findings also indicate that a mind-body technique such as hypnotherapy can be very cost-effective (especially compared to pricey medications and surgical interventions), and that relief from this notoriously hard-to-treat condition can be sustainable since the improvements are long-lasting.

Am J Gastroenterol, 2002;97:954-961 In a recent review of available controlled studies in the field of gastroenterology conducted at the University Hospital of South Manchester, West Didsbury UK, scientists discovered that hypnotherapy is unequivocally beneficial for patients suffering from gastrointestinal disorders including irritable bowel syndrome and peptic ulceration. Scientists at the Gastroenterology Unit, Frenchay Hospital, Bristol came up with similar results: 33 patients with refractory irritable bowel syndrome were treated with four 40-minute sessions of hypnotherapy over a period of 7 weeks. Twenty of the group (60%) improved, of whom eleven were shown to be completely free of all symptoms. Short-term improvement was maintained for 3 months without the need of further formal treatments. Hypnotherapy is one of the most successful treatment methods, giving 80+% success rate for abdominal pain and distension. It often results in assisting with other problems such as migraine and tension headaches. With patients who have severe chronic IBS, it was Hypnotherapy patients that showed dramatic improvement in all measures, and they maintained that improvement at a two year follow-up. - Source: Whorwell P.J; Prior A; Faragher E.B.
