Biological correlates of Reiki Touch(sm) healing. 靈氣碰觸療癒的生物相關性。 Abstract 摘要 BACKGROUND: 背景 Despite the popularity of touch therapies, theoretical understanding of the mechanisms of effect is not
well developed and there is limited research measuring biological outcomes. 儘管碰觸治療法很流行，但對效果機制的理論認識還不夠完善，對生物學測量結果的研究也很有
限。 AIMS: 目的 The aim of this study was to test a framework of relaxation or stress reduction as a mechanism of touch
therapy. 本研究的目的是測試鬆弛或應力降低的框架作為碰觸療法的機制 METHODS: 方法 The study was conducted in 1996 and involved the examination of select physiological and biochemical
effects and the experience of 30 minutes of Reiki, a form of touch therapy. A single group repeated
measure design was used to study Reiki Touch'ssm effects with a convenience sample of 23 essentially
healthy subjects. Biological markers related to stress-reduction response included state anxiety, salivary
IgA and cortisol, blood pressure, galvanic skin response (GSR), muscle tension and skin temperature.
Data were collected before, during and immediately after the session. 這項研究是在 1996 年進行的，涉及選擇生理和生物化學作用以及 30 分鐘的靈氣碰觸療法的經驗。
使用單組重複測量設計，用 23 個基本健康的對象的便利樣本，研究靈氣碰觸療法效應。 有關應力
- 還原反應的生物標誌包括焦慮狀態，唾液和皮質醇，血壓，皮膚電反應（GSR），肌肉緊張和皮
膚溫度。 數據收集之前，期間和之後的會議。 RESULTS:結果 Comparing before and after measures, anxiety was significantly reduced, t(22)=2.45, P=0.02. Salivary
IgA levels rose significantly, t(19)=2.33, P=0.03, however, salivary cortisol was not statistically
significant. There was a significant drop in systolic blood pressure (SBP), F(2, 44)=6.60, P < 0.01. Skin
temperature increased and electromyograph (EMG) decreased during the treatment, but before and after
differences were not significant. 測量前後比較，焦慮明顯減少，t（22）= 2.45，P = 0.02。 唾液 IgA 水平顯著升高，t（19）= 2.33，
P = 0.03，但唾液皮質醇在統計學上無顯著意義。。 收縮壓（SBP）顯著下降，F（2,44）= 6.60，P

<0.01。 治療過程中皮膚溫度升高，肌電圖（EMG）下降，但差異在統計學上無顯著意義。 CONCLUSIONS: 結論 These findings suggest both biochemical and physiological changes in the direction of relaxation. The
salivary IgA findings warrant further study to explore the effects of human TT and humeral immune
function. 這些發現提示了放鬆方向上的生化和生理變化。 唾液 IgA 的調查結果值得進一步研究，以探索人
類 TT 和體液免疫功能的作用。 孫清讚譯 |
