<p>The University of Michigan is researching whether Reiki can control chronic pain in diabetic neuropathy. This study is a placebo controlled, randomized, double blind, crossover pilot trial of a bioenergetic transfer technique, Reiki, performed by practitioners. Participants in the study are diabetics with peripheral vascular disease and neuropathy. The hypothesis is that control of painful neuropathy through Reiki will enable subjects to become more mobile thus improving glycemic control and reducing cardiovascular risk.</p>

<p>Dr. Ahlam Mansour of the College of Nursing at the University of Saskatchewan has received a $20,000 grant from the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Initiative (CBCRI) to conduct a feasibility study of the effects of Reiki. The study will investigate the effects of Reiki on the level of anxiety, physical problems, spiritual well-being, and complete blood counts in breast cancer patients undergoing their initial chemotherapy.</p>
