About this trial
This study involves patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery (lumbar arthrodesis). It compares the effects of Reiki, an energy-based therapy, with conventional approaches to relieve postoperative pain.
The goal is to determine whether this non-drug method can help reduce pain, limit the use of painkillers, and enhance patient comfort during recovery.
