1. Pranic Healing reduces acute pain, stress and anxiety of patients at the Emergency department of a hospital
Researchers: Lauren K. L. and Linda F. L. Nurses and Pranic Healing therapists at St. Joseph Hospital Regional Medical Center, New Jersey, USA.
Objective: Evaluate the effect of Pranic Healing on reliving pain, stress and anxiety of pacients.
Method: Patients at the emergency room scaled their pain, stress or anxiety from 0 to 10, before and after being treated with Pranic Healing. The research was done with 144 patients over 8 months.
Results:
• Pain score decreased from 7.52 to 4.16 (p < 0.01).
- Stress score went from 7.33 to 2.76 (p < 0.01).
- Anxiety Score of 7.53 decreased to 3.00 (p < 0.01).
- Comparative study for pain relief: pain score decreased from 8.9 to 3.0 (p < 0.017) with Pranic Healing; 8.6 to 7.8 (non significant) with medication to decrease pain.
Conclusion: The use of Pranic Healing showed to be efficient in decreasing acute pain, stress and anxiety of patients from a Emergency department of a hospital.
2. Pranic Healing may help the treatment of tabacco addiction.
Researcher: Andrea Veronica Garcia Pacheco, M. D. from Cuenca, Ecuador
Objective: To evaluate the effect of Pranic Healing on patients with nicotine addiction through smoking.
Method: The Pranic Healing protocol for smoking was applied for 2-3 sessions per week, consisting of at least 5 sessions for each patient. The study was done with 108 patients dependent on nicotine – 54 patients receive Pranic Healing (PH) and 54 patients did not as a control group (CG) – from the age of 18 to 65 years old for a period of 8 months.
Results:
Legend:
PH: patients who received Pranic Healing treatment
CG : patients whi did not receive Pranic Healing treatment
NS: non-significant
By the end of the study, the patients presented different levels of dependency in nicotine with or without PH treatment:
- Patients with no dependency: 19 PH patients compared to 9 CG (p<0.28).
- Patients with low dependency: 28 PH patients compared to 27 CG (p<0.8).
- Patients with medium dependency: 3 PH patients compared to 3 CG patients (NS).
- Patients with high dependency: 4 PH patients compared to 15 CG patients (p<01).
Conclusion: It appears that application of Pranic Healing techniques in smokers can lead to effective cessation of tobacco use.
3. Pranic Healing increases the recovery of patients brain surgery.
