While the world faces an unprecedented situation with the pandemic, other chronic diseases such as chronic pain continue to run their course. The social distancing and restrictive displacement imposed by the pandemic situation represents a new barrier to access to pain management and tends to reinforce chronification process. Given this context, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) might offer new opportunities to manage CP, notably with a hand-touch method, such as self-Reiki therapy. Although Reiki administered by a practitioner has shown promising results to reduce pain and psychological distress, and to improve quality of life, self-Reiki practice needs evidence-based medicine to be disseminated. Overall, self-Reiki could bring positive results in addition to, and without interfering with, conventional medicine approaches in patients experienced chronic pain.
当世界面临着前所未有的大流行病时，其他慢性疾病如慢性疼痛仍在继续发展。大流行病情况下的社交隔离和限制迁移代表了获得疼痛管理的新障碍，并倾向于加强慢性化过程。鉴于这种情况，补充和替代医学（CAM）可能为管理 CP 提供新的机会，特别是采用手触摸方法，例如自我灵气疗法。尽管从业者实施的灵气疗法已显示出有希望的结果，可以减轻疼痛和心理困扰，并提高生活质量，但自我灵气实践需要基于证据的医学来传播。总的来说，自我灵气疗法除了不会干扰传统医学方法之外，还可能为慢性疼痛患者带来积极的结果。
