30 patients with rapidly relapsing duodenal ulceration were studied to assess the possible benefit of hypnotherapy in relapse prevention. After the ulcer had healed on treatment with ranitidine, the drug was continued for a further 10 weeks during which time patients received either hypnotherapy or no hypnotherapy. The two randomly selected groups were comparable in terms of age, sex, smoking habits, and alcohol consumption. Follow-up of both groups of patients was continued for 12 months after the cessation of ranitidine. After 1 year, 8 (53%) of the hypnotherapy patients and 15 (100%) of the control subjects had relapsed. The results of this study suggest that hypnotherapy may be a useful therapeutic adjunct for some patients with chronic recurrent duodenal ulceration.
对30例快速复发的十二指肠溃疡患者进行了研究，以评估催眠疗法在预防复发方面的潜在益处。在用雷尼替丁治疗使溃疡愈合后，继续用药10周，在此期间患者接受催眠疗法或不接受催眠疗法。两个随机选择的组在年龄、性别、吸烟习惯和饮酒量方面具有可比性。在雷尼替丁停药后，对两组患者进行了12个月的随访。1年后，接受催眠疗法的患者中有8例（53%）复发，而对照组中有15例（100%）复发。这项研究的结果表明，催眠疗法可能对一些慢性复发性十二指肠溃疡患者是一种有用的治疗辅助手段。
