Hypnotherapy may help in severe chest pain. It says in a new study that non cardiac chest pain is nothing to worry about. Young women are generally prone to this condition.
The researchers made two groups of 28 patients having non-cardiac chest pain. One group treated with 12 sessions of hypnotherapy for 17 weeks. 80% of them got the pain relief. But there was no change in the frequency of bouts of pain.
The other group were treated with a supportive therapy and a placebo. And just 23% of them reported significant pain relief.
Hypnotherapy is also helpful to develop the overall wellbeing. It can reduce the habit of taking painkillers. The researchers also said that hypnotherapy does not change the levels of anxiety or depression.
