Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Reiki
The researcher, a second-degree Reiki therapist, performed the Reiki therapy. Patients were told to lie comfortably on their backs after they were informed about the therapy. Each of the 7 Reiki hand positions was applied sequentially. Each of the hand positions took 2-3 minutes, requiring 30-40 minutes in total.
Reiki
Reiki is applied touching the energy centers of the body (chakras). There are seven main and many small chakras on a body. Chakras are located on the front and back sides of the body in a vertical line that runs along the middle of the body in humans. A complete Reiki therapy includes all the chakras and organs.
Control group
