Patient Stories

The first patient was enrolled in the trial in 2020. Quantitative data is currently unavailable, as recruitment is ongoing, but we have seen clear positive on the patients who have been/is currently enrolled in the trial.

Some of the most remarkable outcomes is Cille, who gained control of/lost her most malevolent voice of the 8 voices she hears daily. Vibeke has been voice-free since the therapy after hearing voices for 27 years and Mark, who’s voices became mosquitoes in his head, that he can fan away if he needs to. In general, the patients enrolled in the trial has experienced more control over their life and their head as an outcome of the therapy.
