Therapeutic Touch For Alzheimer's Disease
    Therapeutic touch is a nursing procedure where trained practitioners perform healing movements
without actually touching the patient's body. Therapeutic touch was pioneered by
Dolores Krieger, R.N. Therapeutic touch practitioners try to heal by altering
disturbed energy fields around the patient.>br> To the
best of my knowledge, only one study has used therapeutic touch to treat
alzheimer patients. In that study, therapeutic touch was shown to reduce rocking
motions, fist clenching, and verbal anxiety in agitated alzheimer patients
[199].
