In this episode of the Restore Healthcare Podcast, Dr. Kang wanted to highlight a session from the Restore Healthcare Conference 2025. This features an InspireX Talk by Dr. Brenda Jones, a seasoned clinician, nursing professor, and researcher. In her presentation, Dr. Jones shares recent research on the impact of in-person prayer for pain and anxiety relief in medical clinics. The randomized controlled trial, conducted both in Baltimore and virtually during the pandemic, involved 262 patients who were randomly assigned to receive either prayer in the name of Jesus or to listen to instrumental music. Dr. Jones explains how certified prayer ministers led the sessions and describes the study’s rigorous design. Results showed a significant and lasting reduction in pain for those who received prayer, with most participants supporting its availability in medical offices. She concludes by encouraging healthcare professionals to learn more about ongoing research and future opportunities to get involved.Chapters:0:22 – Introduction and guest background2:01 – Conversation with a Harvard professor3:39 – Measuring healing outcomes after prayer5:17 – Family medicine clinic study details6:50 – Research partnership with GMRI and funding needs8:25 – Staying compliant with IRB and HIPAA10:21 – Using music as a shared control11:43 – Post-prayer vs. post-control findings13:30 – Six-to-eight-week study duration and resultsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/restorehealthcareproject_ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554104156850&mibextid=eQY6clTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@restorehealthcareproject?_t=8rCih8fjAH0&_r=1Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@restorehealthcareprojectWebsite - https://www.restorehealthcareproject.org/Selah Health International - https://www.selahhealthinternational.org/
