Systematic review of hypnotherapy for treating symptoms in terminally ill adult cancer patients.
The aim of this review was to find the evidence for or against the use of hypnotherapy in the treatment of symptoms in terminally ill adult cancer patients. The title and abstract were evaluated following a search through Index Medicus/MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINHAHL, CancerLit, AHMED, Psychinfo, CISCOM, Cochrane and DARE. Search terms included hypnotherapy, cancer, terminal care and palliative care. Inclusion criteria included systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, observational and prospective studies, retrospective surveys, case studies and reports. A total of 27 papers were evaluated. Two reviewers assessed the studies, one extracted the relevant data and 10% were evaluated independently by a third reviewer. The 27 papers comprised a randomized controlled trial, an observational study, a retrospective questionnaire and 24 case studies. Hypnotherapy was used to treat a variety of symptoms, including pain, anxiety and depression. The poor quality of the studies and heterogeneity of the study population limited further evaluation; further research is required to understand the role of hypnotherapy in managing symptoms.
