To examine the effects of Reiki as an adjuvant therapy to opioid therapy for postoperative pain control in pediatric patients.
This was a double-blind, randomized controlled study of children undergoing dental procedures. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either Reiki therapy or the control therapy (sham Reiki) preoperatively. Postoperative pain scores, opioid requirements, and side effects were assessed. Family members were also asked about perioperative care satisfaction. Multiple linear regressions were used for analysis.
Thirty-eight children participated. The blinding procedure was successful. No statistically significant difference was observed between groups on all outcome measures.
Our study provides a successful example of a blinding procedure for Reiki therapy among children in the perioperative period. This study does not support the effectiveness of Reiki as an adjuvant therapy to opioid therapy for postoperative pain control in pediatric patients.
研究雷射治疗作为辅助疗法对接受阿片类药物治疗的术后疼痛控制的影响。
这是一项针对接受牙科手术的儿童进行的双盲、随机对照研究。参与者被随机分配接受雷射治疗或对照治疗(假雷射治疗)术前。评估术后疼痛评分、阿片类药物需求和副作用。还询问了家属对围手术期护理的满意度。采用多元线性回归进行分析。
38 名儿童参与。盲法程序成功。所有结局指标两组间均无统计学差异。
我们的研究为围手术期儿童雷射治疗的盲法程序提供了一个成功的范例。本研究不支持雷射治疗作为辅助疗法对接受阿片类药物治疗的术后疼痛控制的有效性。
