Hypnosis and meditation have been shown to be effective treatments for a variety of medical conditions. In this study, we will be investigating the effectiveness of self-induced cognitive trance on post-treatment oncological patients’ quality of life. This study is double blind, randomized, and controlled.
Background Information on Hypnosis and Meditation
Hypnosis and meditation are two popular practices that have been used for centuries to help improve a person’s mental well-being. Recently, however, these practices have been gaining popularity as treatments for a variety of medical conditions. In this study, we will be using hypnosis and meditation to improve the quality of life of post-treatment oncological patients.
Hypnosis and meditation can be very helpful in treating a variety of medical conditions, including anxiety, depression, stress, and pain. They can also be used to improve a person’s sleep habits, focus, and concentration. Studies have shown that both hypnosis and meditation can have positive effects on a person’s quality of life. For example, one study found that hypnosis was effective in reducing anxiety symptoms in cancer patients. Additionally, another study found that mindfulness-based meditation was effective in improving the quality of life of cancer patients who had undergone radiation therapy.
Consequently, we believe that hypnosis and meditation can be an effective treatment for post-treatment oncological patients’ quality of life. In this study, we will be using hypnosis and meditation to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression in post-treatment oncological patients. We believe
The Study: Hypnosis, Meditation, and Self-Induced Cognitive Trance for Post-treatment Oncological Patients’ Quality of Life
Hypnosis and meditation have been shown to improve quality of life in cancer patients. A recent study looked at how these practices can be helpful in post-treatment oncological patients. The study involved 60 post-treatment oncological patients who participated in either hypnosis or meditation for 20 minutes per day for eight weeks. The patients’ quality of life was assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Second Edition (FACT-2) questionnaire. Results showed that both groups improved significantly in their FACT-2 scores, with hypnosis showing a greater effect than meditation. The authors suggest that hypnosis and meditation may be helpful in improving quality of life in post-treatment oncological patients.
Methods: This study will use hypnosis, mediation, and self-induced cognitive trance to improve post-treatment oncological patients’ quality of life.
Hypnosis: Hypnosis is a relaxation technique that is thought to improve the quality of sleep, reduce anxiety, and boost mood. Meditation: Meditation is a form of relaxation that involves focusing on your breath or a phrase or mantra. According to the National Institutes of Health, meditation has been shown to reduce stress, pain, and anxiety. Self-Induced Cognitive Trance: Self-induced cognitive trance is a state of deep relaxation in which you are aware of your surroundings but are not consciously aware of your thoughts or actions. Research suggests that self-induced cognitive trance can improve overall mental health and well-being.
Outcomes: The outcomes of this study will be assessed through questionnaires that measure quality of life (QOL) after treatment
Methods: Thirty-six post-treatment oncological patients will be randomly assigned to receive either hypnosis or meditation intervention. The intervention will be conducted individually in a comfortable setting by a specially trained therapist. Patients will complete a self-reported QOL questionnaire before and after the intervention. Results: Participation in this study is voluntary, and no incentives will be given to participants. If all 36 patients complete the study, we will have data that can help us better understand how hypnosis and meditation may improve QOL after treatment for cancer.
