A post-review of patients who had used hypnotherapy for labor was published in 2004 in the British Journal of Anaesthesia 2004 (93(4):505-511) by A.M Cyna, G.L. McAuliffe and M.I. Andrew. The review suggested that there was evidence of the reduced need for pharmacological analgesia but a more substantial trial was required. Subsequently there is a major controlled trial currently underway in Adelaide, Australia which is seeking to conclusively prove that hypnosis can a make a significant difference to women in pregnancy and labor.<ref>{{ClinicalTrialsGov|NCT00282204|Hypnosis Antenatal Training for Childbirth (HATCh): a Randomised Controlled Trial}}</ref> |

Hypnotherapy can be used during pregnancy and childbirth to prepare a mother for birth and/or to attempt to treat a number of issues ranging from fears and minor health conditions related to the pregnancy, to the possibility of reducing or eliminating pain during labour. The use of hypnotherapy in childbirth is also sometimes referred to as hypnobirthing.[1]
Hypnotherapy is the process of interactive therapy with a certified clinical hypnotherapist to determine and resolve the root cause(s) of any overwhelming fears, beliefs and attitudes. There are many basic hypnosis techniques that can be used throughout pregnancy and childbirth for the purposes of relaxation, sleep, physical comfort, preparation for childbirth and preparation for parenthood.
History
In 1942, Childbirth without Fear was published; it was a book written by the English obstetrician Grantly Dick-Read that introduced the idea of using hypnotherapy for childbirth.[2] The work was further developed by Jacqueline Vincent Priya[3], Michelle Leclaire O'Neill[4] and later Marie Mongan[5] and Kerry Tuschhoff in America.
Obstetrician Grantly Dick-Read first wrote about the use of hypnosis to reduce painin the 1930s in his work on natural childbirth and since the 1980s a range of different techniques have been developed that utilize hypnosis in a natural childbirth.
Deployment
England and Wales
The use of hypnotherapy has become widespread among in obstetric units as an increasingly popular means of achieving a natural childbirth[citation needed]. In 2011, the UK's National Health Service (NHS) began an 18-month trial study on the effectiveness of hypnotherapy, involving 800 first-time mothers-to-be.[6] Hypnotherapy for childbirth has been incorporated into the services provided in many NHS hospitals.[citation needed]
Research
According to the Mayo Clinic, research examining the benefits of hypnobirthing is limited: A 2004 research review found insufficient evidence to show that the technique is effective,[7] and two 2012 Cochrane reviews found that there was insufficient evidence to determine whether hypnosis is effective in managing or treating pain in childbirth or postnatal depression.[8][9]
