Abstract in brief

  • This meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of Reiki therapy in reducing anxiety, analyzing data from studies involving 824 participants aged 18 and older, across various populations including healthy individuals and those with chronic illnesses.
  • The findings showed that Reiki therapy significantly decreases anxiety levels, with short-term interventions of 3 to 6 sessions being particularly effective, although results varied depending on the type of patient and the number of sessions.
  • The study also highlighted that while Reiki helps with general anxiety and health-related anxiety, its effectiveness in specific cases like preoperative or cancer-related anxiety is less consistent, possibly due to individual health conditions and psychological factors.]
