Evidence context

How this source is used

Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.

Investigation

Does Reiki work beyond placebo through healing energy?

Supports

A sham-controlled, single-blind 60-person ICU trial (30 Reiki/30 sham) reported better pain/anxiety outcomes; an official February 2026 corrigendum restored tables and changed reported multivariate statistical results without changing the authors' conclusion. Corrected complete group means were not independently re-extracted.
