Hypnocontraception effectivity tested.

ABSTRACT

The effectivity of hypnocontraception was tested in 23 women selected as the most suitable ones from 86 registered interested women. The method was based on experience of the Milanese authors, especially Professor Marchesan. The hypnocontraception was performed in eight sessions, the temporary sterility was suggested for six months with a possibility of prolongation for another six months. In the course of the study 14 out of the 23 treated women became pregnant, seven of them in the course of the first two months and twelve of them in the course of the first six months. The remaining 9 women did not get pregnant. Out of them six terminated the hypnocontraception after six months, one after 12 months and four continue up to now (7-22 months). Consequently, the effectivity of the procedure applied in this study has been shown as not sufficient to recommend its introduction as a current means of contraception in the general population.
