Objective: To design a set of measures which were portable and cost-effective that scientists could use to determine competence of Energy Practitioners so that qualified practitioners could be employed in improving ongoing research accuracy.
Design: This was a prospective study with sample of convenience.
Subjects: 213 subjects, 185 women and 28 men, were tested in this study.
Context: LifeWave Energy Enhancer (LEE) patches (LifeWave Corp, San Diego, CA, USA) on skin produce some changes that are consistent with increased energy production, but little is known about their effects on cortisol concentrations or the peripheral circulation.
Objective: The study intended to assess the effects of LEE patches on salivary cortisol, peripheral circulation, and psychological measures on healthy adults.
Methods: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized pilot study was performed.
