A meta-analysis of 20 controlled studies found that patients who received hypnotherapy before or during surgery fared better than 89 percent of patients in control groups. Among the benefits were reduced anxiety, reduced pain, and less postoperative nausea and vomiting; less blood loss; and even shorter hospital stays.
