 Due to the increasing use and tendency to complementary therapies, they can be used to relieve pain and reduce anxiety and stress in patients. The aim of this study was to systematically review the effect of Reiki therapy on the control of pain, anxiety and stress.

 This is a systematic review. A search was conducted on clinical trials published from 2016 to 2019 in databases such as SID, MagIran, Pubmed, Nursing Consult, Elsevier, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar using the keywords Pain, Reiki, Anxiety, Stress, and Randomized Clinical Trial.

 Initial search yielded 154 articles. Of these, 131 were excluded due to not meeting the inclusion criteria, and finally 23 eligible clinical trials were selected for analysis.

 The use of complementary therapies, including Reiki therapy, has different results in different people. It is recommended to perform various studies in different countries to evaluate the effectiveness of reiki therapy.
