Hypnotism Boost for IVF
  
 

 

 
 

from the Daily Telegraph 30 Jun 2004

Hypnotising women during IVF treatment doubles their chances of becoming pregnant, a fertility doctor said yesterday.

Dr Eliahu Levitas, a fertility doctor at Soroka University, Israel, studied nearly 200 women undergoing IVF treatment. Half the women were hypnotised by a trained expert during the transfer of their embryos, while the other half had normal treatment. The success rate of each cycle of treatment increased from 14 percent in the control group to 28 percent in the hypnotised group.

"IVF is a stressful event for the patient and the procedure of embryo transfer is the peak of that stress" Dr Levitas told the fertility conference. "The favourable outcome may be explained by the tranquillising effect which reduces stress. The bottom line is I think it's a good thing, it will work"
