The regulated release of hormones, substances with a specific regulatory effect on a particular organ or group of cells. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a cellular process, any of those that are carried out at the cellular level, but are not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the controlled release of a substance from a cell or group of cells. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of a hormone from a cell or group of cells. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of corticotropin-releasing hormone secretion. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of a hormone from a cell or group of cells. The regulated release of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), a polypeptide hormone involved in the stress response. CRH is produced by the hypothalamus and stimulates corticotropic cells of the anterior lobe of the pituitary to produce adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and other biologically active substances e.g. 2-endorphin, release of CRH is affected by serum levels of cortisol, by stress and by the sleep/wake cycle. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of corticotropin-releasing hormone from a cell or group of cells.
