Eligibility

Age
18 Years to No maximum

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Adults, over 18 years of age, regardless of gender and education level and who present a clinical picture of skin/burn injuries

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: People with mental disorders; with local or systemic infections, with cellulitis in nearby areas; people who have undergone grafts or procedures that require long-term dressings, for example, dermal matrix grafting; people who have tattoos at the burn site, since metallic compounds in the dye can alter thermography images, and who have some type of device (near the evaluated site) that alters the skin temperature capture

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected with the salivary cortisol test, to assess the stress level of the participants, because under normal conditions, when a challenge or a threat is perceived, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is activated, resulting in an increase in the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol (SILVA; ENUMO, 2014).;It is expected that with the use of digital infrared thermography, temperature changes during the application of reiki are found, as thermography is an adjuvant and complementary method to perform evaluations of temperature and heat variations in skin lesions (CHAVES et al., 2015 ,MARTÍNEZ-JIMÉNEZ et al., 2013; MARTÍNEZ-JIMÉNEZ et al., 2018).
