Study Summary

The goal of this open label, randomized, controlled clinical trial is to assess the benefits of providing Reiki therapy to subjects receiving their first brachytherapy treatment for gynecological malignancies. Participants will either receive a session of Reiki therapy or usual care during the standard wait time between the placement of the brachytherapy device and brachytherapy treatment. Questionnaires will be administered at various time points on the day of the participant's first brachytherapy treatment as well as at the three month follow-up time point. Researchers will compare the intervention (Reiki therapy) and control (usual care) groups to assess the impact of the Reiki therapy on anxiety, pain, state anxiety, depression, and physiological measurements.

Primary Outcome

To assess the impact of Reiki therapy on anxiety in subjects undergoing brachytherapy treatment for gynecological malignancies compared to the usual care control arm. The 6-item Spielberger State Anxiety Scale is a validated shortened version of the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) used to measure state anxiety. The scale utilizes a Likert scale with four response categories assigned numerical values from 1-4 ("not at all,""somewhat,""moderately," and "very much").
