Hypnosis and Recurrent Menstrual Headaches

David G. Howsam, General Practitioner

This case study illustrates the use of hypnosis as the only treatment in the cessation of a 20-year history of menstrual headaches in a 42-year-old woman. Detailed information of the five hypnosis sessions involved is provided. Prolonged follow-up over 13 years has revealed no recurrence of the presenting symptoms.
