Sample adults could report treating recurring pain by 14 of the 16 alternative health modalities, including healing rituals. The omitted alternative treatments are hypnosis and movement techniques, which were included as treatments for specific health problems in the 2007 survey only; however, recurring pain was not a specific condition recognized in 2007. (See HYPYR and MOVALEXYR for more information about the treatment of specific conditions by hypnosis and movement techniques.) Analysts interested in the treatment of recurring pain by alternative therapies other than healing rituals/sacraments should see PRARITYR for the full list of alternative medicine treatments, as well as for a summary of other healing ritual-related questions and definitions.
