Research statistics on the effectiveness of hypnosis for dental phobia?

Answer 1

Research on hypnosis for dental phobia shows some promising but still limited evidence. A 2022 systematic review of 19 clinical trials found that hypnosis often significantly reduced dental anxiety and fear in patients undergoing dental procedures in several studies, although overall results were varied due to differences in methods used across studies.

In one controlled trial with 102 dental patients, those who received hypnosis reported significantly lower anxiety during tooth removal compared with usual care alone.

Another clinical study using the Corah Dental Anxiety Scale showed significant reductions in anxiety scores when hypnosis was applied before dental treatment.

Overall, many studies report positive effects on anxiety, physiological stress markers, and patient experience, but researchers note that more standardized, high-quality trials are needed to make strong statistical claims.
