Abstract

Therapeutic Touch and Healing Touch are popular energy therapies. Previous scholars have concluded that studies that claim to support the validity of these interventions are fraught with methodological errors. We reviewed studies published between 2010 and 2016 to determine if the quality of the research has improved. It has not.
