Study Summary
The proposed study will assess whether either massage or an Integrative Medicine practice called Reiki can alleviate fatigue in subjects receiving hormonal treatments. Reiki is classified by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health as a biofield/touch therapy, and Reiki practitioners believe that their gentle therapy promotes healing and well-being by unblocking and balancing energy flow and re-establishing homeostasis within the human energy field. The study is a three-arm randomized clinical trial in 99 breast and prostate cancer patients who are undergoing hormonal therapy (i.e., androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for males or an aromatase inhibitor (AI) for females) and currently experiencing fatigue. Subjects will be studied during ten weeks of hormonal therapy with two weeks of baseline assessments followed by a four-week intervention, and a four-week post-intervention period. Arm 1: Subjects will receive two Swedish-style massages. Arm 2: Lower-dose Reiki intervention - Subjects will receive two Reiki treatments. Arm 3: Higher-dose Reiki intervention - Subjects will receive four Reiki treatments.
