| | Therapeutic touch fails to detect 'human energy fields': 4/3 |
 | | Therapeutic touch practitioners, who claim to treat many medical conditions by using their hands to manipulate a "human energy field," failed to detect the "field" under test conditions, according to an article in the April 1 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). | | | Therapeutic touch is grounded on the concept that people have an "energy field" that is readily detectable and modifiable by therapeutic touch practitioners. | | | According to the researchers, both therapeutic touch theory and technique require that a human energy field be felt in order to impart any therapeutic benefit to a subject. |

| | Therapeutic touch was developed in the early 1970s by Dolores Krieger, PhD, RN, a professor of nursing at New York University, and Dora Kunz, a "natural healer." Krieger and Kunz first taught the technique to Krieger's graduate nursing students, and it remains primarily a nursing intervention today. | | | Another trial found that therapeutic touch effectively reduced headache pain, and a third investigation found that it reduced the time needed to calm hospitalized infants and toddlers after stressful experiences such as examinations and surgery. | | | A modern variation of the "laying on of hands," therapeutic touch is one of the most controversial forms of alternative therapy. |
