Exaggerated claims by lay hypnotists have obscured the technique's proven benefits, say clinicians who routinely use hypnosis in the treatment of pain, needle phobia, and many other conditions. “There is a rich scientific literature on hypnosis that stretches back over 100 years- each year there are about 150 articles on hypnosis in mainstream medical and science journals. It's not one of those fuzzy interventions for which no research has ever been done”, stresses Michael Nash (University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, USA), editor of the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. The American Medical Association and other medical associations have formally recognised hypnosis as a viable medical treatment, says Nash, and “we don't even qualify for alternative-medicine research funds”.
