Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialPatterning of pain and power with guided imagery.
Using Martha Rogers' science of unitary human beings, changes in pain and power among 42 patients were examined in relation to the use of a guided imagery modality. Participants were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups and repeated measures MANCOVA was used to detect differences in pain and power over a 4-day period of time. ⋯ No differences in power emerged. Guided imagery appeared to have potential as a useful nursing modality for chronic pain sufferers.
