Can reiki really help pain? Check out this flurry of research from just the past few months:
Cancer Pain: This systematic review of 7 studies included 572 people with cancer. Reiki reduced pain in 5 out of 7 of the studies (Holist Nurs Pract. 2023 Sep-Oct 01;37(5):268-276).
Arthritis Pain: 42 people with knee osteoarthritis received either standard treatment alone or standardized treatment plus reiki. The reiki group had greater improvement in pain scores (Orthop Nurs. 2024 Mar-Apr 01;43(2):109-118).
Fibromyalgia Pain: 50 people with fibromyalgia were given either reiki or sham reiki. Pain scores improved significantly more in the reiki group, as did physical function and energy (Holist Nurs Pract. 2023 May-Jun 01;37(3):161-171).
Pain: This meta-analysis of 4 controlled studies found that reiki reduced pain significantly better than in control groups (Complement Ther Clin Pract. 2018 May ;31:384-387).
And what about anxiety?
A just published meta-analysis of found that reiki significantly improves anxiety (BMC Palliat Care. 2024 Jun 13 ;23(1):147).
The fibromyalgia study discussed above also found that reiki significantly decreases anxiety and significantly improves mental health (Holist Nurs Pract. 2023 May-Jun 01;37(3):161-171).
A controlled study of hemodialysis patients found that reiki reduces both anxiety and fatigue (Holist Nurs Pract. 2024 Jan-Feb 01;38(1):26-31).
Reiki has also recently been found to significantly improve sleep, quality of life, emotional well-being, energy and fatigue, cognition and social functioning in people with epilepsy (Epilepsy Behav. 2024 Oct ;159:109938).
Reiki has also recently been shown to significantly improve sleep quality and anxiety in people with COPD (Holist Nurs Pract
