Hyperemesis gravidarum, which requires hospitalization in approximately 1% to 5% of patients, is characterized by severe nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. This study investigated the effects of hypnosis on nausea, vomiting, use of antiemetic medications, and hospital stay among patients diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum. Patients were randomized to receive either conventional therapy alone (control condition, = 23) or adjuvant hypnotherapy plus conventional therapy (treatment group, = 18). Sociodemographic data, severity of nausea, frequency of vomiting per day, rescue medications used, and length of hospital stay were recorded. Participants in the treatment group received 2 sessions of hypnosis and were instructed in daily self-hypnosis practice. Those in the control group received treatment as usual. Results from this study indicated that adjunctive use of hypnotherapy with patients diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum experienced significantly reduced severity of nausea and frequency of vomiting compared to treatment-as-usual alone. Also, hospital stay was found to be shorter in the treatment group as compared to the control group. These findings are encouraging and suggest it is feasible and potentially beneficial to include adjunctive hypnotherapy to treat hyperemesis gravidarum.
妊娠剧吐的发生率约为 1%至 5%，需要住院治疗，其特征是妊娠期间严重的恶心和呕吐。本研究调查了催眠对妊娠剧吐患者恶心、呕吐、止吐药物使用和住院时间的影响。患者被随机分为仅接受常规治疗（对照组，n=23）或常规治疗加辅助催眠治疗（治疗组，n=18）。记录社会人口统计学数据、恶心严重程度、每天呕吐次数、使用的急救药物和住院时间。治疗组接受 2 次催眠治疗，并接受日常自我催眠练习的指导。对照组接受常规治疗。研究结果表明，与单独常规治疗相比，妊娠剧吐患者辅助使用催眠治疗可显著减轻恶心严重程度和呕吐频率。此外，治疗组的住院时间比对照组短。这些发现令人鼓舞，表明辅助催眠治疗妊娠剧吐是可行的，且可能有益。
