randomized controlled clinical trials in the Pubmed, ISI Web of Sciences, and GoogleScholar databases, and four randomized controlled trials with 212 participants were included in the meta-analysis.
Results.
When assessed by VAS pain scores and comparing the Reiki (n = 104) group to the control group (n = 108), a standardized mean difference of -0.927 (95% CI: -1.867 to 0.0124) was observed.
Therefore, it was observed that Reiki therapy causes a statistically significant decrease in VAS score.Demir Doğan M. The effect of reiki on pain: A meta-analysis. Complement Ther Clin Pract. 2018 May;31:384-387. doi: 10.1016/j.ctcp.2018.02.020. Epub 2018 Mar 10. PMID: 29551623.

I don't know how to reproduce it. I don't know how it can be reproduced, but the results of the meta-analysis are statistically significant, which means that there is a possibility of reducing pain. In fact, it may be useful for pain that is different from acute traumatic pain and does not show up on imaging tests.
However, even if it is a meta-analysis, if the paper used as a reference is a ________...
