A single-blinded randomized clinical trial tested mindful hypnotherapy for major depressive disorder. Thirty-four patients in Tehran, Iran, were assigned to either the intervention or a wait-list control group. After treatment and at a two-month follow-up, the intervention group showed a clinically significant decrease in difficulties in emotion regulation (mean scores dropping from 123.75 to 76.19 and then 68.00) and significant increases in mindfulness (from 93.06 to 149.43 and 144.18) and mental health (from 19.63 to 51.62 and 48.50). Mindful hypnotherapy appears effective for improving emotion regulation, mindfulness, and mental health in major depressive disorder.
