Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Reiki
The participants in the Reiki group (n=32) were given Reiki remotely for 60 minutes by two certified practitioners who completed the second level Reiki training with a Master degree Reiki instructor according to the Usui method.
Reiki
Reiki, one of integrative practices, is an energy therapy involving the use of energy that flows naturally from the hands of the practitioner to strengthen the body's ability to heal itself in order to increase well-being. Reiki improves well-being in many areas, ensures that blood and lymph circulation is maintained properly, regulates blood pressure and pulse rate by stimulating the autonomic nervous system, increases comfort, reduces depression and anxiety levels. In this way, Reiki facilitates physical and mental relaxation and promotes health
