Cukurova University Faculty of Medicine Non-interventional Clinical Research Institutional Ethics Committe

Therapeutic Touch performed in line with the Therapeutic Touch Practice Procedure included the following steps: centering, assessing, rebalancing, reassessing, reexamining, grounding, and closure.

The control group was administered STT instead of TT for 10 minutes for successive 5 days. The practice was implemented in line with STTPP. The practice was implemented by not centering or intending to help to heal, by moving at a longer distance, and by imitating the TT practice protocol visually.
