摘要: Abstract Objectives: Biofield treatments have been used for pain control in patients with cancer and chronic pain. However, research on the effect of biofield treatment specific somatic disorders is lacking. This study intends to investigate oscillating therapy (OBFT) symptoms carpal tunnel syndrome. Design: Randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. Participants: Thirty syndrome participated Intervention: Patients were randomly assigned active or placebo groups. Those group received six sessions OBFT intention treat during a period 2 weeks. had same number mock treatment. Outcome measure: The Disabilities Arm, Shoulder Hand (DASH) questionnaire; Symptom Severity Scale (SSS); Functional Status (FSS) outcome assessment. Results: Both clinically statistically significant ...
