The primary objective of this search was to pinpoint peer-reviewed articles published in English that satisfied specific criteria: (1) employing an experimental or quasi-experimental study design, (2) incorporating Reiki therapy as the independent variable, (3) encompassing diverse patient populations along with healthy individuals, and (4) assessing anxiety as the measured outcome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The study involved 824 participants, all of whom were aged 18 years or older.

Subgroup analysis indicated that the types of subjects (chronically ill individuals and the general adult population) and the dosage\/frequency of the intervention (\u2264\u20093 sessions and 6\u20138 sessions) were significant factors influencing the variability in anxiety reduction.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Short-term Reiki therapy interventions of \u2264\u20093 sessions and 6\u20138 sessions have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing health and procedural anxiety in patients with chronic conditions such as gastrointestinal endoscopy inflammation, fibromyalgia, and depression, as well as in the general population. It is important to note that the efficacy of Reiki therapy in decreasing preoperative anxiety and death-related anxiety in preoperative patients and cancer patients is somewhat less consistent. These discrepancies may be attributed to individual pathophysiological states, psychological conditions, and treatment expectations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12904-024-01439-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,13]],"date-time":"2024-06-13T00:01:33Z","timestamp":1718236893000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Therapeutic effects of Reiki on interventions for anxiety: a meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Xiulan","family":"Guo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yue","family":"Long","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhikai","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongtao","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"1439_CR1","first-page":"1254","volume":"8","author":"S Shaermoghadam","year":"2016","unstructured":"Shaermoghadam S, Shahdadi H, Khorsandvakilzadeh A, Afshari M, Badakhsh M.
