Qualitative data analysis revealed that 47.7% of the studies showed positive results regarding the impact of hypnotherapy for sleep, 22.7% showed mixed results, and 29.5% showed no impact. A subset of 11 studies that set sleep disturbance as an inclusion criterion and included suggestions for sleep were examined separately and had more favorable results, such that 54.5% showed positive results, 36.4% showed mixed results, and 9.1% showed no impact results.

In this state-of-the-art article, the authors therefore review the latest literature in this exciting field of remote teletherapy, discussing adoption of video hypnotherapy; its evidence, including efficacy compared to face-to-face therapy; patient satisfaction; advantages and disadvantages of teletherapy; as well as practical considerations and factors that should be considered when deciding on the mode of delivery. They also discuss training implications of the recent developments. Finally, they highlight areas for future research and development.
