Summary

This pilot study looked at whether distance Reiki—a hands-off energy therapy—could improve quality of life and immune function in 30 adults with multiple myeloma who had a stem cell transplant. Participants were randomly assigned to receive real Reiki, fake (sham) Reiki, or no extra treatment. The study measured changes in well-being, fatigue, and immune cell diversity, but it was small and exploratory, so results are not conclusive.
