Summary

This study will test whether Reiki therapy, a gentle hands-on energy technique, can improve recovery, comfort, and mood in women who have had a cesarean section. Eighty new mothers will receive three Reiki sessions on days 1, 2, and 7 after birth, in addition to standard care. Researchers will measure healing, comfort, and emotional well-being to see if Reiki offers any extra benefit.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Reiki therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, side-effect-free way to help mothers feel better and recover more comfortably after a C-section.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants. Reiki's effects are hard to measure, and any benefits may be due to relaxation or placebo rather than the therapy itself.
