At the CSR brown bag, I present results from a quantitative study of 936 cases of miraculous healing in a Danish charismatic Christian context. Religious healing strategies may be effective in alleviating various symptoms such as pain. This is reflected in the data set, in which diagnoses with highly subjective or fluctuating symptoms are prevalent. The distribution of diseases is comparable with the distribution observed in complementary and alternative medicine; however, it is significantly different from the distribution observed in conventional medicine. The most frequently occurring diseases in the data set are well known from placebo research, which suggests that some of the social and psychological mechanisms at work in placebo effects may also explain the efficacy in healing rituals.
