Gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS: the evidence
Strong evidence
Gut-directed hypnotherapy is one of the best-evidenced non-drug treatments for IBS. Independent trials over four decades show that roughly 50–70% of patients get clinically meaningful symptom relief, often lasting 6–12 months after treatment.Read the evidenceHypnotherapy for generalised anxiety: the evidence
Moderate evidence
Grade B for generalised anxiety. That is the adult presentation this cluster grades. Valentine’s 0.79 is not a GAD cure rate, and it is not a 79% success figure.Read the evidenceHypnotherapy for smoking cessation: the evidence
Moderate evidence
