Hypnotherapy has been found to reduce multiple discomforts that patients often experience such as asthma, anxiety, depression, and labor pains. However, the patient should ensure that their physician is properly versed in hypnotherapy and, therefore, will be able to give the specific application and level of care that the patient requires. Karen Lee Fontaine, a professor of nursing at Purdue University, explains that, "Imagery stimulates changes in several functions of the body such as heart rate blood pressure, respiratory patterns, brain wave rhythms and patterns, electrical characteristics of the skin, local blood flow and temperature, gastrointestinal motility, secretions hormone level, and neurotransmitters."

Fontaine explains many ancient effective pain relief therapies as well as some newer such as hypnotherapy.
