  • Title: Energy-based modalities.
    Author: Engebretson J, Wardell DW.
    Journal: Nurs Clin North Am; 2007 Jun; 42(2):243-59, vi. PubMed ID: 17544681.
    Abstract:
    Research on touch therapies is still in the early stages of development. Studies of Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch, and Reiki are quite promising; however, at this point, they can only suggest that these healing modalities have efficacy in reducing anxiety; improving muscle relaxation; aiding in stress reduction, relaxation, and sense of well-being; promoting wound healing; and reducing pain. The multidimensional aspects of healing inherent in patient care continue to be expanded and facilitated by our understanding and application of energy therapies.
