Study: Hypnosis Works to Treat Hospitalized Smokers
January 10th, 2008
Patients who are hospitalized may be more likely to quit smoking with the help of hypnotherapy, according to researchers.
A study, conducted by the North Shore Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital in Salem, Mass., found that more patients were likely to quit smoking after six months, compared to patients who used nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) or those who wanted to quit on their own, which is known as going “cold turkey.” Researhers also found that patients who were admitted to the hospital with cardiac disease were three times more likely to quit smoking than those with pulmonary (lung) problems.
