“…The significant decrease in diastolic BP in this study could be due to Reiki influencing the ANS which may then reduce peripheral vascular resistance, probably through reduced sympathetic outflow to the resistance blood vessels (15) . The reduction of BP and sedative effects of touch-like techniques observed in animals has also been reported to involve opiate and serotonergic mechanisms, which may also be implicated as a mechanism of action in this study (20) . Further studies monitoring opiate and serotoninergic mechanisms would be required to confirm the importance of these substances in immediate effects of Reiki.…”

6This study aimed to investigate the immediate effects of the secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA), α-amylase activity and blood pressure levels after the application of a Reiki session in nurses with Burnout Syndrome. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design was Una sesión de Reiki en enfermeras diagnosticadas con síndrome deBurnout tiene efectos beneficiosos sobre la concentración de IgA salival y la presión arterial El objetivo fue investigar los efectos inmediatos en inmunoglobulina A salival (IgAs), actividad de α-amilasa y presión arterial de una aplicación de reiki en enfermeras sufriendo síndrome de Burnout. Se utilizó un ensayo preliminar placebo randomizado con cegamiento doble utilizando un diseño cruzado. Dieciocho enfermeras (edad 34-56) con síndrome de Burnout participaron en el estudio. Las participantes recibieron tratamiento con Reiki o Reiki fingido según el orden establecido por la randomización en dos días distintos. El test de ANOVA mostró un interacción significativa momento intervención para la presión arterial diastólica (F=4.92, P=0.04) a y la concentración de sIgA (F=4.71, P=0.04). Una sesión de Reiki de 30 minutos puede mejorar de manera inmediata la respuesta de IgAs y la presión arterial diastólica en enfermeras con síndrome de Burnout.

“…61 Animal studies suggest that massage may exert its analgesic effects via activation of periaqueductal gray-opioid systems due to the release of oxytocin. 62 Both this study and the trial by Coppieters et al 21 found no significant improvement in any outcome measure following the application of US, despite the use of different parameters. It is possible that different applications of therapeutic US may yield different results for this population.…”

Study design: Randomized clinical trial. Objectives: To investigate the immediate effects of soft tissue mobilization (STM) versus therapeutic ultrasound (US) in patients with neck and arm pain who demonstrate neural mechanical sensitivity. Background: While experts have suggested that individuals with neck and arm pain associated with neural tissue mechanical sensitivity may benefit from STM, there has been little research to investigate this hypothesis. Methods: Twenty-three patients with neck and arm pain and a positive upper limb neurodynamic test (ULNT) were randomly assigned to receive STM or therapeutic US during a single session. Outcome measures were collected immediately before and after treatment, and at 2-4 day follow-up. Primary outcomes were the Global Rating of Change (GROC), range of motion (ROM) during the ULNT, and pain rating during the ULNT. Secondary measures included the Neck Disability Index (NDI), Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS), Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and active range of shoulder abduction motion combined with the wrist neutral or wrist extension. Results: A greater proportion of patients in the STM group reported a significant improvement on the GROC immediately after treatment (P50.003, STM575%, US59%), and at 2-4 day follow-up (P50.027, STM558%, US59%). Patients who received STM demonstrated greater improvements in ROM during ULNT (P50.026), PSFS (P50.007), and shoulder active ROM combined with wrist extension (P50.028). Improvements in Numeric Pain Rating Scale and pain during the ULNT were observed only in the STM group. There was no difference between groups for the NDI or shoulder abduction ROM with wrist neutral. Conclusion: Patients with neck and arm pain demonstrated greater improvements in ULNT ROM, GROC, and PSFS, and pain following STM than after receiving therapeutic US. Level of evidence: Therapy, level 1b.

“…PAG receives direct connections from the limbic areas (including those activated here), and contains a high density of vasopressin and oxytocin receptors (Jenkins et al, 1984). It is also known to be involved in endogenous pain suppression during experience of intense emotional experiences such as childbirth, and recent evidence demonstrates that this is facilitated through oxytocinergic action (Lund et al, 2002). PAG has direct connections with the orbitofrontal cortex (Cavada et al, 2000), which perhaps accounts for the equally specific activation of the latter with maternal love.…”
