They had a big study on the efficacy of prayer in the States, regarding people recovering from a particular heart op. They divided the patients into three groups: 1) People who were not prayed for 2) People who were prayed for, but were not told. 3) People who were prayed for and were told they were being prayed for. The first two groups had similar outcomes, but the third group had statistically significantly worse outcomes. More of a Nocebo effect in this case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitvilla Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 A coincidence, came across this today ... link Conclusion The study findings indicate that intercessory prayer had no significant effect on the primary outcome of mortality or the secondary outcomes, including the length of hospitalization, ICU stay, and the need for and duration of mechanical ventilation. Well, there's a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
