Summary

This study was a randomized controlled trial. It included young girls with primary dysmenorrhea in a district located in the south of Turkey and was conducted between March 01, 2021 and June 30, 2021. The sample size of this research was decided by performing a power analysis in the power statistical program. Considering the parameters of the groups, the effect size was calculated to be 0.5003604. Since α was found to be 0.05 and power (1 - β) was 0.95, a total number of 66 participants were distributed into three equal groups (sage oil massage: 22, Reiki: 22, control: 22). Considering the possibility of case losses, 30 participants were included in each group; finally, a total of 90 people were included in the study. For data collection, a questionnaire regarding sociodemographic characteristics and the visual analog scale (VAS) were used. Reiki and massage with sage oil were applied for 30 minutes, and no application was performed on the control group.

Reiki as bioenergy therapy works with the energy that leads the human body to a calmer state that is linked to health and cure. Reiki therapists conduct the curing energy that enters the top of the head and leaves through the hands.
