Therapeutic Touch: A Gentle Oasis in the Desert of Anxiety

Anxiety is a common experience, and finding effective ways to manage it is crucial for overall well-being. This research investigates the potential benefits of therapeutic touch, a complementary therapy, in reducing anxiety among university students. The study used a quantitative approach, comparing the effects of therapeutic touch to a control group.

The research found that both the experimental group, who received therapeutic touch, and the control group, who received a mock treatment, experienced a statistically significant reduction in anxiety levels. The study suggests that therapeutic touch may have a calming effect on anxiety, but further research is needed to determine the specific mechanisms involved.
