Summary

This study tested whether Reiki, a gentle energy-based therapy, can reduce pain and improve comfort in adults who just had coronary angiography (a heart artery imaging test). 85 first-time patients were randomly assigned to receive Reiki, a placebo, or standard care. Researchers measured pain and comfort levels shortly after the procedure to see if Reiki made a difference.
