Information on a small randomised medical trial of the NLP Movie rewind Phobia Process, done in New Zealand. 

 

The intervention was done as a single 15 minute session (designed for use by doctors). Ninety-eight participants (92%) returned their questionnaire and were included in the intention to treat analysis. The HIQ (Heights Interpretation Questionnaire) score <26 was 34.6% (18/52) in the intervention group and 15.2% (7/46) in the control group RR = 2.26, 95% CI (1.05, 4.95) and p = 0.028. The numbers needed to treat is six 95% CI (3 to 36). Participants with scores <26 report their fear of heights is very much improved. There was a 4.5-point difference in the HIQ score at eight weeks (p = 0.055) on the multiple regression analysis.

The two doctors running the study will do as much as they can to get the message out there. The process, by the way, was done as a single 15 minute session able to be delivered by doctors (rather than a full NLP session), and randomly compared to a single 15 minute session of a guided meditation, with the clients not knowing whether their process was the "real" one or not. This is an attempt to distinguish the NLP process from simple placebo response. Half of clients (52) got the NLP process, and half (46) got the placebo. On the Heights Interpretation Questionnaire the percentage of clients reporting 8 weeks later that their fear of heights is "very much improved" was 34.6% in the NLP group and 15.2% in the control group.
