能量醫學
（重定向自能量治療）
能量醫學是使用能量的補充和替代醫學領域，例如電療、磁療、手法治療和遠程治療。它也被稱為能量療法。待處理的“能量”包括科學證明存在的能量(電能、磁能、光能)、非科學能量(靈氣、信仰)和傳統概念(氣功跟經絡)[1]。
不過能量醫學在部分臨床研究上沒有顯著療效[2][3][4][5][6][7]。能量醫學的理论基础被醫學專業人士批评为不可信 [8][9][10][11]；一些支持能量医学的研究結果被醫學專業人士指责为含有方法上的缺陷[12][13][14]和选择上的偏见 [12][13]，而所謂的治疗结果被認定为是由已知的心理机制(安慰劑效應)造成的[13][12] 。而推销 "能量医学 "產品的人往往會被认为是在詐騙[15][15]。

...When faith healings have been diligently investigated by qualified doctors, they have found no evidence that the patients were actually helped in any objective sense. Even at Lourdes, the Catholic Church has only recognized 4 cures since 1978, out of 5 million people who seek healing there every year. There simply is no evidence that faith healing heals. Not what science considers evidence. And the true believers don't value evidence or the scientific method: for them, belief is enough.

Since the publication of our previous systematic review in 2000, several rigorous new studies have emerged. Collectively they shift the weight of the evidence against the notion that distant healing is more than a placebo.
