Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study involves patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery (lumbar arthrodesis). It compares the effects of Reiki, an energy-based therapy, with conventional approaches to relieve postoperative pain.

The goal is to determine whether this non-drug method can help reduce pain, limit the use of painkillers, and enhance patient comfort during recovery.
