Hypnosis shown to
reduce symptoms of dementia
A scientist at the
University of Liverpool has found that hypnosis can slow
down the impacts of dementia and improve quality of life for
those living with the condition.
Forensic psychologist, Dr Simon Duff, investigated
the effects of hypnosis on people living with dementia
and compared the treatment to mainstream health-care
methods. He also looked at how hypnosis compared to a type
of group therapy in which participants were encouraged to
discuss news and current affairs.
They found that people living with dementia who had received
hypnosis therapy showed an improvement in concentration,
memory and socialisation compared to the other two
treatment groups. Relaxation, motivation and daily
living activities also improved with the use of
hypnosis.
Dr Duff said: "Over a nine month period of weekly sessions,
it became clear that the participants attending the
discussion group remained the same throughout. The group who
received 'treatment as usual' showed a small decline over
the assessment period, yet those having regular hypnosis
sessions showed real improvement across all of the areas
that we looked at.
"Participants who are aware of the onset of dementia may
become depressed and anxious at their gradual loss of
cognitive ability and so hypnosis – which is a tool for
relaxation – can really help the mind concentrate on
positive activity like socialisation."
