Pain, Chronic Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Acceptance of Reiki Therapy as a Complementary and Alternative Option for the Management of Chronic Pain
For the past few years, the military has been looking for an innovative way to decrease the
use of opioids for chronic pain. This has prompted military treatment facilities to begin
integrating complementary and/or alternative medicine modalities into their conventional
plans of care. Reiki, a bio-field energy therapy, is one such modality. The purpose of this
prospective repeated measure study is to: 1) introduce the concept Reiki therapy to military
healthcare beneficiaries experiencing chronic pain, 2) assess pain outcome after receiving
six treatments of Reiki therapy, and 3) assess participant's impression of Reiki therapy as a
possible complementary and/or alternative option for the management of chronic pain.
Thirty military healthcare beneficiaries with the complaint of chronic pain will receive a
brief introduction to Reiki therapy followed by six 30-minute Reiki sessions provided by
trained Reiki Level 1 Practitioner. Participant's knowledge of Reiki will be assessed using
pre and post questionnaires; pain will be assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory, Defense
Veterans Pain Rating Scale, DoD (Department of Defense) VA (Veteran's Administration) Pain
Supplementary Questionnaire, McGill Pain Questionnaire and pain medication diaries; and
participant's impression will be assessed using the Patient Global Impression of Improvement
Scale and along with a post study questionnaire. If it is found that Reiki therapy helped in
decreasing chronic pain outcomes, this treatment modality may be added to Landstuhl Regional
Medical (LRMC) Pain Clinic's pool of complementary and alternative medicine options.
