Research library

Published studies on the modalities we use, grouped by service. We add to this list as the evidence grows.

These studies are shared for context. They may have used different equipment, settings or groups of people from a session at JEH, and they are not a promise of results.

JEH works alongside, not instead of, appropriate medical care. Individual results vary.
