Available to all CRR members, our Reiki Research List contains more than 130 links to published abstracts devoted to Reiki clinical and preclinical research; while our Reiki Research Summaries, available to associate and professional members, comprise several peer-reviewed evaluations combined into an easily understandable one-page summary.

The latest research summary, for example, reviews a 2023 study examining the effect of distant Reiki on pain and well-being for individuals with phantom limb pain.

Our reviewers agreed this is a novel contribution to the literature due to the assessment of distance Reiki in a population that had yet to be studied — post-amputation patients with phantom limb pain.
