Summary

This double-blind, randomized controlled experimental study aims to determine the effect of Reiki therapy administered to infants with infantile colic (aged 3 weeks to 6 months) on infants' colic symptoms and crying duration, as well as on mothers' fatigue levels and quality of life.

The study population consists of infants aged 3 weeks to 6 months who are diagnosed with infantile colic and present to pediatric health and disease outpatient clinics between July 2025 and July 2026. A total of 44 infants meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to either the Reiki group (n = 22) or the control group (n = 22).

Data will be collected using the Mother and Infant Descriptive Information Form, the Infantile Colic Scale, the Crying Duration Recording Form, the Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue (for mothers), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL) (for mothers).

Reiki therapy will be administered to the intervention group twice on alternate days for 20-30 minutes per session. The control group will not receive any intervention.
