Recent research shows that hypnosis helps psoriasis sufferers

Psoriasis is chronic relapsing skin disease which may be triggered by a number of factors, including trauma, infections and most notably emotional stress. For this reason, researchers at the Department of Dermatology, The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, USA carried out a three month study into the use of hypnotherapy in adults suffering with stable, chronic, plaque-type psoriasis. 

Five patients received an active suggestion technique in which positive statements relating specifically to the patient's skin are given , and six patients received a neutral hypnosis technique in which there is no mention of the disease. 

Although this was only a small scale study, it suggests that hypnotherapy may be a useful therapeutic treatment for those patients diagnosed with psoriasis who are highly hypnotisable. However, more comprehensive research on a much larger scale is needed, not only to discover the mechanisms and degrees of healing for psoriasis patients, but also to establish which patients are 'highly hypnotisable'.
