Reiki as a pain management adjunct in screening colonoscopy

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the use of Reiki decreases the amount of meperidine administered to patients undergoingscreening colonoscopy. . . . Results from this pilot study suggest that there may be a decrease in meperidine needed during screening colonoscopy when patients receive Reiki treatments before the procedure.
