焦虑症在绝经后女性中很常见，但往往没有得到充分治疗。这项研究探讨了旨在减少潮热的催眠干预对绝经后女性焦虑水平的影响。使用状态-特质焦虑量表、医院焦虑和抑郁量表-焦虑子量表以及视觉模拟量表来评估焦虑。此外，还测试了催眠能力作为减轻焦虑的调节因素。从基线到终点，焦虑显着减少，随访和催眠优于对照条件。此外，每周访问的当前焦虑评分从会前到会后下降，并且会前分数持续下降。催眠能力被发现可以减轻焦虑，但无论催眠能力水平如何，参与者的平均症状较基线分数都有显着改善。这些数据为使用催眠来减轻绝经后妇女的焦虑症状提供了初步支持。 试验注册：本研究于2011年2月11日在ClinicalTrials.gov上注册，标识符号为NCT01293695 （https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01293695?term=Elkins&cond=hot+flashes&draw=2&rank=2）。
Anxiety is common, yet often under-treated, among women in postmenopause. This study examined the effect of a hypnotic intervention designed to reduce hot flashes, on anxiety levels of postmenopausal women. Anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety subscale, and a visual analog scale. Additionally, hypnotizability was tested as a moderator of anxiety reductions. Significant reductions in anxiety were found from baseline to endpoint and follow-up and hypnosis was superior to the control condition. Additionally, ratings of Current Anxiety decreased from pre-session to post-session at each weekly visit and the pre-session scores reduced continuously. Hypnotizability was found to moderate anxiety reductions, but regardless of hypnotizability level participants, on average, experienced significant symptom improvement from baseline scores. These data provide initial support for the use of hypnosis to reduce symptoms of anxiety among postmenopausal women.Trial registration:This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov on February 11, 2011 under Identifier number NCT01293695 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01293695?term=Elkins&cond=hot+flashes&draw=2&rank=2).
