As society has become increasingly inquisitive about complementary therapies, various sectors of the medical community have begun to incorporate complementary therapies into their practice, studying their impact on client health and effectiveness in treating specific symptoms. This article describes the design and initial findings from a 1-year review of the implementation of massage and Reiki therapies on patients in a small hospice and palliative care program in central Connecticut. Over the course of 1 year, 114 massage sessions were provided to 52 different patients, all of which included Reiki. After completion of these sessions, patients were evaluated for changes in symptoms such as pain reduction, ease in breathing, stress/anxiety reduction, and increased relaxation, with the results being predominantly beneficial.
随着社会对补充疗法的兴趣日益浓厚，医学界的各个领域开始将补充疗法纳入其治疗实践中，研究它们对客户健康的影响以及治疗特定症状的效果。本文描述了对康涅狄格州中部一个小型临终关怀和姑息治疗项目中患者实施按摩和灵气疗法的情况进行为期 1 年的回顾的设计和初步结果。在 1 年的时间里，为 52 名不同的患者提供了 114 次按摩治疗，所有这些治疗都包括灵气。在这些治疗结束后，对患者的症状变化进行了评估，如疼痛减轻、呼吸轻松、压力/焦虑减轻以及放松增加，结果主要是有益的。
