Clinical Research Articles Course - Online Course
Presented By: Bruce Bonnett, CCHt
It is important that Hypnotherapists be aware and current with the Clinical Research in Hypnotherapy conducted by Major Universities. These scholarly writings provide the practitioner with not only expectations of what is achievable in the field but also with a powerful tool to validate the potential and expectations of potential clients and referring health care professionals.
This self-study course provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical research that supports the effectiveness of Hypnotherapy in 75 of the most common applications that a Hypnotherapist may encounter in private practice.
A one-hour video introduction and overview by the author, Bruce Bonnett, sets the foundation of how to use these resources in your private practice. Once you are fully aware of the research available you will be able to quickly access it, refer to it and even print out specific study results in a usable format to share with clients and healthcare professionals.
The quizzes for this self-study program consist of 5 open-ended questions each (total of 375 open-ended questions) covering all 75 different clinical applications (total of 729 case studies), see A-W list below. You can proceed at your own pace. You have 365 days from the purchase date to complete this course.
Your CEU Certificate for eighty (80) hours of Continuing Education is not awarded until a minimum of 50 articles/quizzes (250 open-ended questions answered) have been completed.
Did you ever wonder what you could tell or show potential clients to convince them that hypnosis really can help with a certain issue? AHA Presenter Bruce Bonnett will provide an overview of research studies from universities and hospitals that conclude that Hypnosis can help with 75 specific presenting issues.

Note: This course provides a summary of each study formatted in a uniform and easy-to-use way. It also provides, where available, links to online websites that contain summaries of the studies. However, the course does not provide you with access in many cases to the full, complete study reports written by the study authors. Study authors often charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars to permit one person to access a full study report for a short period of time. Rather than having to charge you thousands of dollars for this course in order to allow you access to the full study reports, we have opted to keep the price of the course at a reasonable amount and only include the study summaries – which basically contain most of the useful information you would want for your practice anyway.

Menopause and Hypnosis
2025-10-24 at 17:13 Pacific Time
My menopause was a total nightmare, night sweats, depression, significant weight gain, thyroid issues, high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, and relentless insomnia. I wish I had known about hypnosis then; even as an adjunct, it might have eased the insomnia and stress and given me a greater sense of control.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Medication or Treatment Side Effects and Hypnosis
2025-10-24 at 17:03 Pacific Time
I help people by teaching practical, evidence-informed self-hypnosis to ease pain, anxiety, and treatment side effects, improving comfort, confidence, and control alongside their medical care.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Hypnosis by Electronic Device
2025-10-24 at 16:45 Pacific Time
I liked this presenting issue because it shows how hypnosis delivered via electronic devices can expand access without sacrificing impact, lowering travel and scheduling barriers, supporting consistent home practice, and giving clients a greater sense of control with portable, evidence-informed tools.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
HPV (Human Papillomavirus) and Hypnosis
2025-10-24 at 16:33 Pacific Time
Hypnosis is a powerful, nonaddictive tool for helping people cope with chronic pain. I feel profoundly grateful to support those living with illness and persistent pain, there is no greater privilege than being of service when they need it most.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
HIV/AIDS and Hypnosis
2025-10-24 at 16:21 Pacific Time
In the 1980s, a dear friend died of AIDS, and it broke my heart to watch him suffer and feel so helpless. I wish I had known more about hypnosis then; perhaps I could have helped ease his pain and brought him some comfort.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Heartburn Pain and Hypnosis
2025-10-24 at 16:12 Pacific Time
I am learning to manage heartburn with hypnosis, and I have found I can rely less on medication.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Healing and Hypnosis
2025-10-24 at 16:05 Pacific Time
The more I learn about the art of hypnosis and how it helps clients manage a wide range of issues, the more joy I feel, because it offers meaningful relief with minimal side effects compared to medications and empowers clients to feel in control.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Headaches and Hypnosis
2025-10-24 at 15:57 Pacific Time
Until 35, I lived with chronic migraines; had I known about hypnosis, I might have managed the pain more effectively and relied less on strong medications and their side effects.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Guided Imagery
2025-10-24 at 15:50 Pacific Time
I love guided imagery because it’s creative and gives clients a safe, practical way to strengthen their ability to manage pain, fear, and stress.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Agoraphobia and Social Phobia/Panic Attacks and Hypnosis
2025-10-24 at 03:39 Pacific Time

Pain and Hypnosis
2025-10-23 at 19:08 Pacific Time

Glaucoma and Hypnosis
2025-10-23 at 15:41 Pacific Time
My late husband lived with glaucoma, and even while faithfully managing it, and his high blood pressure, with medication, the experience was often frustrating. If I had known then about hypnosis as a supportive adjunct, he might have used those techniques to reduce stress, sleep better, and make daily care easier, enhancing his quality of life.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Fibromyalgia and Hypnosis
2025-10-23 at 15:34 Pacific Time
I liked this meta-analysis because it synthesizes multiple trials and shows consistent, clinically meaningful improvements in pain and sleep with hypnosis, not just isolated anecdotes. It helps my practice by providing client, ready evidence to set realistic expectations and by guiding a structured, skills-based protocol (sessions plus self-hypnosis) that complements medical care.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Fertility, Childbirth and Hypnosis
2025-10-23 at 15:24 Pacific Time
I have a dear friend undergoing IVF after two miscarriages, and I am encouraging her to work with a hypnotherapist to support her emotionally, ease anxiety, and build resilience throughout the process. I would be deeply grateful to see her, and every woman who desires it, have the chance to become a mother.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Fear of Swallowing/Choking and Hypnosis
2025-10-23 at 15:11 Pacific Time
I had not encountered this issue before, but I am grateful to have learned about it and can now confidently include it among the concerns I’m prepared to help clients address.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Fear of Needles, Injections, Blood Draws and Hypnosis
2025-10-23 at 14:59 Pacific Time
As I have shared before, helping someone overcome a fear of needles, injections, and blood draws is profoundly humbling and one of the greatest privileges of this work.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Fear of Injections and Hypnosis
2025-10-23 at 14:51 Pacific Time
I once watched a man at a lab draw grow visibly panicked at the sight of the needle; some staff even chuckled behind his back, and no one offered comfort. As soon as the syringe appeared, he fainted. That moment stayed with me. Had I known then what I know now about hypnotherapy for needle fear, I would have taken him aside to teach a few rapid calming techniques, breath-paced relaxation and a grounding cue, to help him get through the blood draw with dignity. It reinforced how essential compassionate care and practical tools are in medical settings.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Fear of Flying and Hypnosis
2025-10-23 at 14:40 Pacific Time
Although I have not yet worked with a client who fears flying, developing tools for a wide range of presenting issues, including flight anxiety, strengthens my practice and allows me to serve a diverse clientele.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Fear of Dentist and Hypnosis
2025-10-23 at 11:29 Pacific Time
I have a deep aversion to dental visits, rooted in a painful childhood experience, and I still find myself relying on prayer and meditation just to walk through the door. Hypnosis has been a powerful way to ease the anxiety and sense of foreboding, helping me approach the dentist’s office with greater calm, control, and confidence.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Fear of Death and Hypnosis
2025-10-23 at 09:47 Pacific Time
The subject of death and dying has captivated me since childhood and remains one of my deepest areas of interest. I was privileged to accompany my mother through her final transition, without the use of hypnosis, and during that time I experienced meaningful automatic writing that offered insight into the dying process. That experience continues to shape my compassion, presence, and respect for this work.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Erectile Dysfunction and Hypnosis
2025-10-23 at 09:40 Pacific Time
My first priority is compassionate, nonjudgmental care that makes clients feel safe discussing this issue. This study deepened my understanding of the underlying, often overlooked factors contributing to erectile dysfunction.
D.S. from Lomita, California, US
Cataracts and Hypnosis
2025-10-22 at 22:17 Pacific Time
This study was not difficult to follow and understand. It is interesting.
J.B. from Topeka, Kansas, US
Weight Loss and Hypnosis
2025-10-22 at 22:05 Pacific Time
These case studies can help us with methodology and awareness of just how much people can use hypnosis for weight loss.
L.P. from Cleveland, Ohio, US
Warts and Hypnosis
2025-10-22 at 21:58 Pacific Time
It's empowering to know we can help clients that suffer from warts with hypnotherapy.
L.P. from Cleveland, Ohio, US
Creativity and Hypnosis
2025-10-22 at 21:56 Pacific Time
I did not like this lesson. I struggled to understand it.
J.B. from Topeka, Kansas, US
Ulcers and Hypnosis
2025-10-22 at 21:51 Pacific Time
I wish I had of known this information and my ability to hypnotize last year as my mom could have used my help with hypnosis.
L.P. from Cleveland, Ohio, US
Trichotillomania and Hypnosis
2025-10-22 at 21:45 Pacific Time
It's empowering to know we can help those suffering from Trichotillomania with hypnosis.
L.P. from Cleveland, Ohio, US
Trauma and Hypnosis
2025-10-22 at 21:35 Pacific Time
I believe this is one of the most important studies for the therapist. I say that because it's important for us to know exactly what our clients are going through and how we can help them break through their traumas.
L.P. from Cleveland, Ohio, US
Tourette’s Syndrome/Tics and Hypnosis
2025-10-22 at 21:26 Pacific Time
It's empowering to know that through hypnotherapy we can help those suffering from Tourrette's Syndrome/Tics.
L.P. from Cleveland, Ohio, US
