Obese children 'could be hypnotised by NHS to stop them overeating'
- NHS researchers trial hypnosis for severely obese youth to shrink overeating habits.
- A 13-year-old underwent three 50-minute hypnosis sessions in the study.
- Self-hypnosis continued for about four months to reinforce effects.
- BMI moved closer to normal and body fat fell during the treatment.
- Paul McKenna supports hypnotherapy as a potential NHS method for weight loss.
- Experts caution hypnosis would be part of a broader care plan, not a stand-alone cure.
- The study was presented at a major obesity conference in Europe.
- The patient’s anxiety scores also improved alongside weight changes.
- The NHS CEW Service aims to roll out hypnosis to more patients if successful.
