Hypnotherapy significantly reduces pain and anxiety in elderly gout arthritis patients

Three non-randomized interventional studies from the same Indonesian health center examined hypnotherapy's effects on gout arthritis patients. Across these quasi-experimental trials with pre-post test control group designs, a combined 47-51 elderly participants (17 treatment, 17 control per study) received hypnotherapy interventions. All three studies demonstrated statistically significant results (p = 0.000, α = 0.05, 95% CI) for reducing both pain scale scores and anxiety levels compared to control groups. Statistical methods included paired t-tests, independent t-tests, and MANOVA analysis. While the consistent p-values indicate strong statistical significance, the evidence base is limited by the studies originating from a single facility in Pamekasan, Indonesia, and the non-randomized design. Hypnotherapy may serve as a complementary approach for managing gout-related pain and associated anxiety in elderly patients.
