Research

At Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a study was done on out-patients undergoing large-core needle biopsy (LCNB), the group was randomly divided into three and the first group received standard care, second received empathetic attention and the third group underwent hypnosis.

The Unique Methodology of Hypnosis
