First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether brief Christian prayer, given in person or virtually, can lower pain and anxiety in adults visiting a family medicine clinic. 180 participants with moderate or higher pain or anxiety were randomly assigned to receive prayer or listen to relaxing music for 5-15 minutes. Researchers measured changes in pain and anxiety right after the session and again weeks later to see if prayer offered any extra benefit.
