Abstract
In this paper some general information about hypnosis will be given and a few case histories will be presented to illustrate how hypnosis can be used in cancer patients complaining of nausea and vomiting. Finally a short description will be given of a research program in the Netherlands Cancer Institute where we are comparing the effects of hypnosis and progressive muscle relaxation in reducing nausea and vomiting caused by cytostatic drugs.
