There is an abundance of outcomes research for clinical hypnosis showing promising results. Nonetheless, hypnosis is still underutilized in clinical care. For a behavioral intervention to enter mainstream clinical care, efficacy needs to be demonstrated with exceptionally high quality of evidence, and its reporting needs to be complete and sufficiently clear to enable replication and clinical use. The present article provides best practice guidelines formulated by the for conducting and reporting clinical hypnosis research.The recommendations are presented in two tiers. Tier I recommendations include essential best practices, such as a call for the use of detailed research and intervention manuals, plans for and reporting of participant-education about hypnosis, the use of hypnotizability scales with good psychometric properties, and clear reporting of the hypnotizability measurement. Tier I also includes the sharing of intervention manuals, the reporting of the induction procedure, the labeling of the intervention for participants, and the definition of hypnosis used. Tier II includes preferred recommendations, calling for measurement of adherence to home practice, measurement of hypnotizability using scales with both subjective and behavioral measures of responsiveness, and the involvement of participants from the full hypnotizability spectrum. Tier II also includes the assessment of variables related to proposed mechanisms of action, the reporting of participants prior hypnosis experiences, and the relationship of expectancies and treatment outcomes.This list of recommendations will be useful for researchers, reviewers, and journal editors alike when conducting, reporting, or evaluating studies involving clinical hypnosis.
有大量关于临床催眠的结果研究显示出有前景的结果。尽管如此，催眠在临床护理中的应用仍然不足。为了使行为干预措施进入主流临床护理，需要用极高质量的证据证明其疗效，并且其报告需要完整且足够清晰，以能够复制和临床使用。本文提供了由 制定的关于进行和报告临床催眠研究的最佳实践指南。建议分为两个层次。一级建议包括基本的最佳实践，例如呼吁使用详细的研究和干预手册、关于催眠的参与者教育的计划和报告、使用具有良好心理测量特性的催眠能力量表，以及清楚地报告催眠能力测量。一级还包括分享干预手册、报告诱导程序、为参与者贴上干预标签，以及定义使用的催眠。二级建议包括首选建议，呼吁测量家庭实践的依从性、使用具有主观和行为反应度量的量表测量催眠能力，以及让具有全范围催眠能力的参与者参与。二级还包括评估与拟议作用机制相关的变量、报告参与者之前的催眠经验，以及期望和治疗结果的关系。当进行、报告或评估涉及临床催眠的研究时，这份建议清单将对研究人员、评审员和期刊编辑都非常有用。
