Biofield therapies are noninvasive therapies in which the practitioner explicitly works with a client's biofield to stimulate healing responses in patients. Pharmacotherapies are the most common types of treatments used to manage the various symptoms experienced by burn patients. There remains a great unresolved need for symptom relief and therefore, the necessity for the development of additional therapeutic options. Methods of distraction have been used to combat pain in burn patients, particularly virtual reality, with successes attributed to the ability to draw upon conscious attention, leaving less cognition available to concentrate on nociceptive input. Healing touch, touch therapy, and Reiki are all classified as biofield therapies and are associated with relaxation, decreased anxiety, improved well-being, and healing. These therapies may also tap into the usefulness of distraction to reduce pain.
