Pilot Study: Jin Shin Jyutsu During Recovery From Cardiac Procedures

Even though this pilot study is from back in 2000, and probably not up to the standards for medical studies, I think the results are very interesting.  The patients at Morristown Memorial Hospital all seemed to like the treatments (78% said they were helpful to them), felt different, and were comfortable with their practitioner, but were less interested in continuing treatment, or learning Jin Shin Jyutsu self-help after being released from the hospital.  However, a full 85% would “recommend this treatment to others!”

One can only speculate why this is.  Maybe it has to do with a general sense of powerlessness around the care provided during their hospital stay, which is not uncommon. It would be very helpful to conduct more studies, however, they cost a lot of money. Since many of these programs are funded by grants, providing treatments is usually prioritized over conducting studies.
