Could hypnosis help slow the progression of dementia?
A new study out of the u-k says it can.
Researchers at the university of Liverpool compared dementia patients who had hypnosis to patients who received standard treatment and those in group therapy that encouraged discussion of news and current affairs.
According to the study, patients in the hypnosis group showed improvements in concentration, memory, socialization, relaxation, motivation, and daily living activities.
Doctor Simon Duff, a forensic psychologist who participated in the study said that over a nine month period of weekly sessions, the participants attending the discussion group remained the same throughout, while the group who received ‘treatment as usual’ showed a small decline over the assessment period.
Those having regular hypnosis sessions showed improvement across all of the areas that were looked at.
