Pain and Healing Touch Scientific Facts Overview

 
Natural Standard Research Collaboration
Wednesday April 2, 2008
 
Preliminary data from two case series suggests that one session of healing touch (HT) leads to a reduction in pain and anxiety from immediately before to immediately after the session. Formal studies are needed to determine whether or not HT should be used as a treatment for chronic pain. Data from two small studies are inconclusive as to whether HT can benefit patients with post-operative pain. Studies of better design are needed.
