Randomised trial, 2026 # Does Kundalini Reiki help reduce PMS symptoms and improve quality of life? Yes, according to this rigorous double-blind study. Nursing students receiving Kundalini Reiki showed significantly greater improvements in PMS symptoms and quality of life compared to those who received placebo. Strong study design 249 nursing students with PMS screened; 90 randomized to treatment and control groups ## What they did A double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial in two phases. Phase one screened 249 nursing students to identify those with PMS. Phase two randomly assigned 90 students to receive either Kundalini Reiki or placebo. Symptoms and quality of life were measured using standardized questionnaires. ## What they found The Kundalini Reiki group had significantly lower scores for depressive mood, anxiety, fatigue, nervousness, depressive thoughts, pain, and sleep disorders compared to placebo. The Kundalini Reiki group also had significantly higher quality of life scores in physical function, mental health, social function, and general health perception. ## What it means for you Kundalini Reiki appears to reduce both physical symptoms like pain and fatigue, and emotional symptoms like anxiety and depression, while improving quality of life. This was a well-designed study with both treatment and control groups. The main limitation is that participants were nursing students, so results might differ in other populations. 249 Nursing students screened 90 Students randomized to treatment 7 Main symptom categories improved ## About the study Original title Effect of Kundalini Reiki on Premenstrual Syndrome Symptoms and Quality of Life in Nursing Students: A Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Authors Selin Paker, Figen Kazankaya, Gül Ertem Journal Journal of Nursology Year 2026 Study design Randomised trial Participants 249 What was tested Kundalini Reiki versus placebo Open access Yes Read the paper [doi.org/10.17049/jnursology.1673866](https://doi.org/10.17049/jnursology.1673866) ## Topics [Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)](https://niyora.com/research/topics/condition-pms/)[Low mood and depression](https://niyora.com/research/topics/symptom-depression-mood/)[Anxiety and tension](https://niyora.com/research/topics/symptom-anxiety/)[Pain and headache](https://niyora.com/research/topics/symptom-pain/)[Quality of life and daily functioning](https://niyora.com/research/topics/life-area-quality-of-life/)[Students and academic performance](https://niyora.com/research/topics/life-area-education/) Research tells you what helps on average.
