First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested 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 received real Reiki, fake Reiki, or no extra care. The goal was to see if Reiki helps patients feel better and boosts their immune system.
