HYPNOSIS CUTS HOT FLASHES BY MORE THAN 50%, NEW STUDY SHOWS
A major clinical trial published in Obstetrics & Gynecology has confirmed that self-administered hypnosis can reduce hot flash symptoms by more than half, offering a powerful, drug-free option for menopause relief.
The study followed 250 postmenopausal women between 2019 and 2024. All experienced at least 28 hot flashes per week. Participants listened to 20-minute daily hypnosis recordings using relaxation, cooling imagery, and other suggestions.
STRONG, MEASURABLE RESULTS
After six weeks:
• Hot flash symptoms dropped 53% in the hypnosis group
• The control group saw a 41% reduction
• Benefits continued at the 12-week follow-up
• Average symptom scores fell from 89 to 41, and then to 35 at follow-up, showing sustained improvement.
Researchers noted that a 50% reduction is considered clinically significant, meaning self-hypnosis met the highest standard of effectiveness. The Menopause Society already recommends hypnosis for vasomotor symptoms based on strong Level 1 evidence.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Up to 80% of women experience hot flashes for 4–7 years after menopause. Many seek non-hormonal options due to personal preference, medical history, or age restrictions around hormone therapy.
This trial confirms that hypnosis can deliver results comparable to therapist-led sessions, making it accessible, safe, and affordable.
OTHER PROVEN BENEFITS FROM PRIOR RESEARCH INCLUDE:
• Improved sleep
• Reduced daily interference from symptoms
• High perceived benefit among users
• No reported side effects
A NEW ERA IN MENOPAUSE CARE
This study strengthens a simple message: hypnosis is clinically supported, safe, and highly effective for many women and stands out as a practical, science-based solution for managing hot flashes.
