"Clinical Trial Shows Superior Effectiveness with Academy Methods: The Positive Results from this Clinical Trial Led to the NIH-Funded Study Overactive Bladde...r Syndrome Hypnotherapy for Treatment of Overactive Bladder: Randomized Controlled Trial Pilot Study Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, 2011 Nov;17 (6):308-13. Komesu, YM, Sapien, RE, Rogers, RG, Ketai, LH A recent clinical trial at the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque shows the effectiveness of the Academy’s hypnotherapy methods in comparison to behavioral therapy alone. The population studied was women who suffer with overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome. OAB syndrome, affecting 17% of all women in the United States, is experienced as urinary urgency, increased frequency, nocturia (need to urinate often at night), and sometimes with incontinence. Along with the physical symptoms, women with OAB also experience stress, embarrassment and decreased self-esteem. Academy associate hypnotherapy instructor, medical researcher and Chief of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Dr. Robert Sapien, designed the study using the methodology developed by Tim Simmerman Sierra, codirector of the Hypnotherapy Academy. Sapien said the objective of the study was to gather data to compare hypnotherapy to an already proven standard treatment, in this case, behavioral therapy. Conclusion: both groups showed improvement with treatment; however, the hypnotherapy group showed significantly higher scores in the effective relief of symptoms and improvement in quality of life, than the behavior therapy group. The hypnotherapy group had an overall improvement of 67% (in only three sessions), while the behavioral therapy group only 42% improvement. The research team (Yuko M. Komesu, MD; Robert E. Sapien, MD; Rebecca G. Rogers, MD; and Loren H. Ketai, MD) concluded: This pilot study is notable in that the hypnotherapy group had superior global improvement in their OAB symptoms compared with behavioral therapy alone. Dr. Sapien added as a side note, that the group of women in the study who did not receive hypnotherapy (the control group) indicated that they were disappointed that they did not receive hypnotherapy. After the study was completed, they were given the option of returning to have the hypnotherapy protocol. All of the women chose to return for the added benefit of hypnotherapy."
