Journal Title: Journal of Integrative Oncology - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
In an earlier article by the author, the effectiveness and efficacy of Reiki Therapy when used as complementary therapy in patients with blood cancer was demonstrated. With the present article, the author invites readers to reflect on the importance of further qualitative research study of Reiki Therapy as complementary holistic therapy in these same patients. This proposal results from the fact that there are cancer variables of weight that could not be considered in the previous investigation and that can be evaluated through the spontaneous testimonies of the patients, the registry of the same and also the analysis of the content of an open question made in the previous investigation. It is therefore urgent to continue to investigate.
