This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing Reiki therapy, a gentle hands-on healing practice, to see if it can help reduce pain and improve quality of life in women with fibromyalgia. Researchers will compare women who receive real Reiki therapy with women who receive a placebo (a sham session that looks the same but has no active treatment) to find out if the treatment actually works. The study will also measure whether this treatment affects mood, anxiety, and sleep quality.
Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain and can significantly impact daily life, mood, and sleep. This trial exists to explore whether Reiki therapy—a complementary approach—might offer relief when added to standard care, and to understand how it might work in the body.

If you join this study, you'll be randomly assigned to receive either real Reiki therapy or a placebo session. Either way, you'll come in once a week for 4 weeks for a 30-minute session. Before and after the 4-week program, you'll complete questionnaires about your pain, mood, anxiety, and sleep. During each session, researchers will also measure your pain level, heart rate, and breathing to see if there are immediate effects. The entire commitment is about 4 weeks plus some time for assessments.
