Summary

This study is testing whether Reiki, a gentle energy-based therapy, can help women who had a cesarean section feel less pain, more comfort, and breastfeed with more confidence. 99 new mothers will either receive Reiki, a fake 'sham' Reiki, or standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach can improve the postpartum experience.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a gentle, drug-free way to help new mothers feel more comfortable and confident with breastfeeding after a cesarean.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with no blinding, and Reiki's effects are hard to measure. The sham Reiki group may also show benefits, making it unclear if real Reiki is better.
