About this study
Official title: A Large Cross-sectional Study of Laying-on-of-hands in Japan: Who Responds to it and What Facilitates the Response?
The purpose of this study is to determine the symptomatic changes after a single session of laying-on-of-hands in various settings, and to evaluate optimal conditions for the outcomes.
Read the detailed description
Laying-on-of-hands is applied in many different situations; however, most reports published previously described its efficacy in a clinical setting, with its administration conducted by a few expert practitioners. This study aimed to determine the symptomatic changes after a single session of the Okada Purifying Therapy, a form of laying-on-of-hands, in various settings, and to analyze factors influencing the outcomes.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Severity of various symptoms
Participants self-evaluated the severity of various symptoms before and after the intervention, and determined whether their symptoms got better, worsened, or did not change.
Measured: Baseline and immediately after a single intervention
Secondary outcomes (1)
Adjusted odds ratios of the factors influencing the outcomes
After collecting all the eligible data, to be clarified are such personal variables as demographic attributes associated with the tendency to respond, and factors that facilitate such responses.
Measured: in 1 year
