Quantum-Touch Research on Fibromyalgia

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.

The Quantum-touch techniques used was Basic and Core
Transformation, going back and forth during the treatment, and
spending an average of 10 minutes at the back of the head in
particular. Then I moved to other parts of their body spending
30 minutes on their back and 30 minutes on their front. I would
work on areas that they had circled on their intake forms in
particular. All clients were treated lying on massage table.

The pain scale range before the first session on a scale of 1-10
ranged from 6.0-9.5.

The pain scale range after the first session on a scale of 1-10
ranged from 1.5-5.0.

The average time of relief reported by clients after the first
session was 3-4 days.

The average pain scale range before each session dropped on
average 1 point each week. For example, a client who came in
with a pain scale of 8 the first week, came in each of the
following weeks with her pain scale beginning at 7, then 6, then
5, then 4. 

The pain scale range before the 4th session averaged between 2.0
and 5.0.

The pain scale range after the 4th session averaged between .05
and 2.0.

The average time of relief clients reported at the end of the
4th session was 6-7 days.

The average reported sleep times before the beginning of the 4
sessions was 4.5 hours.

The average reported sleep times after the 4th session was 7.5
hours

Part two of the study and the goal was to see if I could extend
times of relief between sessions.

I did 3 sessions with 10 days apart, then 3 sessions with 14
days apart, then 3 sessions with 21 days apart. 

Clients reported their pain scale at the start of the extended
treatments at 2.0-5.0

Clients reported their pain scale at the end of the extended
treatments at 0.5-2.5

Clients reported sleep time averaging 7.5 hours.

Clients reported pain relief between treatments started at an
average of 7-9 days and by the end went to 15-20 days.
