“…In a 2010 paper, Block29 projected the amount of money that might be saved if hypnosis was used for all patients undergoing breast biopsies conducted in the United States during a 1‐year period. Block's results were extrapolated from published cost‐effectiveness data 6.…”

“…Results from an institutional cost‐effectiveness perspective indicate that at a minimum, hypnosis interventions are likely to pay for themselves: that is, cost savings associated with the intervention offset additional costs associated with delivery of the intervention 27. At best, hypnosis for breast biopsy could potentially save over $100 million from an institutional perspective when extrapolated to a national level on an annual basis 29…”

https://www.wileyhealthlearning.com/acs.aspx Hypnosis has been used to provide psychological and physical comfort to individuals diagnosed with cancer for nearly 200 years. The goals of this review are: 1) to describe hypnosis and its components and to dispel misconceptions; 2) to provide an overview of hypnosis as a cancer prevention and control technique (covering its use in weight management, smoking cessation, as an adjunct to diagnostic and treatment procedures, survivorship, and metastatic disease); and 3) to discuss future research directions. Overall, the literature supports the benefits of hypnosis for improving quality of life during the course of cancer and its treatment. However, a great deal more work needs to be done to explore the use of hypnosis in survivorship, to understand the mediators and moderators of hypnosis interventions, and to develop effective dissemination strategies.

“…Overall, clinical effect sizes for hypnosis tend to be in the moderate to large range (Kirsch, Montgomery, & Sapirstein, 1995; Montgomery, David, Winkel, Silverstein, & Bovbjerg, 2002; Montgomery, DuHamel, & Redd, 2000; Schnur, Kafer, Marcus, & Montgomery, 2008). Lastly, a growing number of studies have indicated the cost-effectiveness of hypnosis interventions (Block, 2010; Lang & Rosen, 2002; Montgomery et al, 2007), further supporting their widespread use.…”

Despite the available empirical evidence supporting the efficacy of hypnosis for alleviating symptoms and side effects across a variety of clinical contexts, hypnosis has failed to disseminate widely. One way to try to better understand the lack of hypnosis dissemination is to apply a marketing theory approach, focusing on attitudes and beliefs about a product (hypnosis) held by consumers. Better understanding of such factors can lead to strategies to promote the product among consumers, and in this case, encourage dissemination. The goal of the study was to investigate relationships between interest in hypnosis use and: 1) attitudes about hypnosis; 2) beliefs about the effectiveness of hypnosis (i.e., hypnosis credibility, and hypnosis effectiveness expectancies); 3) past experience with hypnosis; and 4) the perceived hedonic value and utility of hypnosis. The study also explored participants' preferences for hypnosis delivery method (i.e., live or recorded), as well as preferences for hypnosis labeling (i.e., how hypnosis is defined). Participants (N = 509) were recruited through Amazon Mechanical Turk and completed an anonymous online survey. The results revealed that participants' attitudes about hypnosis, their expectancies for the effectiveness of hypnosis, and the perceived hedonic value of hypnosis accounted for unique variance in participants' interest in hypnosis, ps < .05. Together, these variables accounted for 73% of the variance in participants' interest in hypnosis use. Based on these findings, we recommend that these key variables should be considered when planning for greater dissemination and uptake of empirically supported hypnosis interventions.

“…(2007) examined 200 patients undergoing either excisional breast biopsy or lumpectomy for breast cancer found that patients who received 15-minutes of pre-surgery hypnosis had a reduced surgical time of a mean 10.6 minutes and cost $772.71 less than those in the control group. When savings are considered from the perspective of the United States in its entirety, it has been estimated that if 92% of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients received hypnosis for breast cancer surgery, then an annual $138,112,331 would be saved (Block, 2010). This estimate may even be below actual cost savings (Montgomery et al, 2013), as it only included information for women who were found to have breast cancer after biopsy, when 80% of biopsy results are benign (Goff, Molloy, Debbas, Hale, & Jaques, 1995).…”

Hypnosis is a brief intervention ready for wider dissemination in medical contexts. Overall, hypnosis remains underused despite evidence supporting its beneficial clinical impact. This review will evaluate the evidence supporting hypnosis for dissemination using guidelines formulated by Glasgow and colleagues (1999). Five dissemination dimensions will be considered: Reach, Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM). Reach In medical settings, hypnosis is capable of helping a diverse range of individuals with a wide variety of problems. Efficacy There is evidence supporting the use of hypnosis for chronic pain, acute pain and emotional distress arising from medical procedures and conditions, cancer treatment-related side-effects and irritable bowel syndrome. Adoption Although hypnosis is currently not a part of mainstream clinical practices, evidence suggests that patients and healthcare providers are open to trying hypnosis, and may become more so when educated about what hypnosis can do. Implementation Hypnosis is a brief intervention capable of being administered effectively by healthcare providers. Maintenance Given the low resource needs of hypnosis, opportunities for reimbursement, and the ability of the intervention to potentially help medical settings reduce costs, the intervention has the qualities necessary to be integrated into routine care in a self-sustaining way in medical settings. In sum, hypnosis is a promising candidate for further dissemination.
