ReviewEffects of reiki in clinical practice: a systematic review of randomised clinical trials.
The aim of this systematic review is to summarise and critically evaluate the evidence for the effectiveness of reiki. ⋯ In conclusion, the evidence is insufficient to suggest that reiki is an effective treatment for any condition. Therefore the value of reiki remains unproven.

Transient global amnesia (TGA) is an isolated amnesic syndrome with normal neurological examination where patients remain alert and communicative with no loss of personal identity; however, they experience striking loss of memory for recent events and an impaired ability to retain new information. TGA could be triggered by venous congestion and there is evidence of association between younger patients and history of migraine. Most episodes last 2-12 h and the recurrence rate of future amnesic events is very low.
