Novel Treatments for Knee Osteoarthritis

Background

Some of the most common forms of biofield therapies are Reiki, Qigong, Healing Touch, and Therapeutic Touch. The Novel Treatments for Knee Osteoarthritis Project aims to assess the efficacy of different biofield therapies in reducing pain among knee osteoarthritis patients.
