Results of different studies do not agree with each other, and therefore it is currently unclear if therapeutic touch is a useful anxiety treatment. Some trials report benefits, while others find no effects. Also, there is early evidence that therapeutic touch may reduce anxiety in children with life-threatening illnesses, reduce stress in teenagers with psychiatric disease, and help relax premature infants. Most studies have not been well designed, and better research is necessary in order to draw firm conclusions.
