Overactive Bladder
Groundbreaking research tested hypnotherapy against the current standard of care for Overactive Bladder/Urinary Urgency Incontinence. "The Integral Hypnotherapy methodology was found to be equivalent to, and in many patient cases, superior to the current standard medical treatment" as stated on the Hypnotherapy Academy of America's website.
NIH funded study, hosted by UNM Hospital
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in conjunction with the National center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) funded a 3 year, $3 million study of the Integral HypnotherapyTM methods to treat Overactive Bladder Syndrome in Women. The hypnotherapy protocol used was designed by Tim Simmerman Sierra, the lead instructor of the Hypnotherapy Academy of America. The study was hosted by University of New Mexico Hospital.
​
As stated on the Hypnotherapy Academy of America's website "...hypnotherapy for overactive bladder and urinary incontinence had equivalent results to the current standard medical treatment overall. In those patients who were moderately to highly responsive to hypnosis, the one-year follow-up showed superior results to the standard medical treatment."
