Fibromyalgia and Quantum-Touch: Can the Pain Be Reduced by the Use of an Energy Healing Modality

I completed over 130 hours of research using Quantum-Touch, which is an energy healing modality to treat Fibromyalgia. National Fibromyalgia Association describes Fibromyalgia (FM) as a chronic pain illness characterized by widespread musculoskeletal aches, pain and stiffness, soft tissue tenderness, general fatigue, and sleep disturbances. The most common sites of pain include the neck, back, shoulders, pelvic girdle, and hands, but any body part can be affected. Fibromyalgia patients experience a range of symptoms of varying intensities that wax and wane over time.

It is estimated that approximately 3-6% of the U.S. population has FM. Although a higher percentage of women of all ages and races are affected, it does strike men and children. Because of its debilitating nature, fibromyalgia has a serious impact on patients' families, friends, and employers, as well as society at large.

Quantum-Touch (QT) is an easy to learn method of hands-on healing that uses the scientific principles of resonance and entrainment - combined with very specific breathing techniques and simple body awareness exercises - to create a powerful, yet natural, field of healing energy. There is no physical manipulation in QT. Only the lightest, most gentle touch is used. QT has been tested in clinical settings and used in hospitals and operating rooms
The research project was conducted as follows:

I put out ads for 10 people who were suffering from Fibromyalgia. I would treat them 1 time per week for 60 minutes. They would receive 4 treatments the same day each week and if possible the same time frame. There was no charge for the session.

Part 2 of the research would be to see if I could extend therapy sessions to 10 days apart, then 14, then 21 days apart

All clients were female, and the age range of clients was 42-56. The number of years that a professional had put a name to their pain ranged from10-18 years.
