Studies on Reiki for Fibromyalgia
In another study published in December 2019 by the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, a group of researchers examined the effect of a single 45 – 90 min session of Reiki on the patient’s overall psychological and physical health. Even though this study was done on people who do not have any specific medical conditions, most of the items that were measured are symptoms that fibromyalgia patients would often experience.
The researchers assessed all the participants before the session and at the end of it. They observed that participants showed improvement in various areas including fatigue, pain, anxiety, and depression. This made the authors conclude that Reiki indeed offers therapeutic potential for various medical conditions that come with psychological and physical symptoms.
