Reiki and self-acupressure for people with MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests two relaxing therapies — Reiki (a gentle hands-on energy technique) and self-acupressure (applying mild finger pressure on specific points) — for people with multiple sclerosis. It looks at how these treatments affect symptoms like anxiety, depression, and fatigue.
