Effect Of Pranic Healing On Insomnia: A Narrative Review On Clinical Evidence.

Abstract

Background: Insomnia and poor sleep quality are common problems that can adversely affect physical and mental well-being. Pranic Healing has been explored as a complementary approach to improving sleep quality and alleviating insomnia-related symptoms. This review aimed to evaluate the available clinical evidence on the effectiveness of Pranic Healing in improving sleep quality and insomnia related outcomes. Methods: A narrative review was conducted using studies identified through Google Scholar and PubMed. The search used the keywords “Pranic Healing,” “sleep,” and “insomnia.” Clinical studies investigating the effects of Pranic Healing on individuals with insomnia or other sleep-related problems were included. Reviews, editorials, books, theses, unpublished reports, and studies unrelated to sleep were excluded. Results: Five clinical studies were reviewed, including randomized studies, exploratory studies, case series, and case reports. Overall, the studies reported improvements in sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, and general sleep patterns following Pranic Healing. However, the available evidence was limited by small sample sizes, short intervention periods, reliance on subjective outcome measures, and methodological limitations. Conclusion: Pranic Healing may have potential as a complementary approach to improving sleep quality and alleviating insomnia-related symptoms. However, larger randomized controlled trials with longer follow-up periods and objective measures of sleep are needed to establish its effectiveness.
