Clinical Research Contribution
Adrian Rusin served as one of the certified clinical hypnotherapists delivering the intervention arm of a federally funded clinical research study at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, funded and monitored by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) at the National Institutes of Health.
The randomized trial, titled “Brain-Centered Therapy versus Medication for Urgency Urinary Incontinence (Hyp-hOP)”, compared a neuroscience-informed hypnotherapy intervention with standard pharmacological care within a structured research protocol led by Co-Principal Investigators Loren Ketai, MD and Yuko Komesu, MD. Adrian’s clinical sessions formed part of the mind–body intervention arm, documented in site-visit reports and in the protocol registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01829425).
Adrian’s clinical practice is also cited in subsequent research published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, Volume 71, Issue 2 (April 2023) — reinforcing his role in evidence-informed hypnotherapy methods used across UAE Hypnosis today.

ADRIAN’S MISSION & ETHICAL APPROACH
A calm, structured way to change patterns while respecting your medical care
Adrian’s work is guided by a simple idea: lasting change happens when the mind, body, and environment are all respected. Hypnotherapy is used to gently update the subconscious patterns that drive reactions, habits, and decisions while staying aligned with appropriate medical, psychological, or psychiatric guidance.
In every session, Adrian’s goal is for you to feel informed, safe, and in control of the process. You are not asked to surrender control. Instead, you learn how to use focused attention, imagery, and relaxation to build healthier responses in situations that previously felt overwhelming.
This approach is especially important for clients who already work with doctors, psychologists, or psychiatrists. Hypnotherapy is offered as a complementary tool, not a substitute. Where appropriate, and only with your permission, Adrian is happy to collaborate with other members of your healthcare team so everyone is moving in the same direction.
Sessions are time-limited and goal-oriented. Together, you agree on what progress would look like, how to review it, and when it is appropriate to pause, reassess, or conclude your work.
