OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of myofascial release techniques on pain
symptoms, postural stability and physical function in fibromyalgia syndrome.
DESIGN: A randomized, placebo-controlled trial was undertaken.
SUBJECTS: Eighty-six patients with fibromyalgia syndrome were randomly assigned
to an experimental group and a placebo group.
INTERVENTIONS: Patients received treatments for 20 weeks. The experimental group
underwent 10 myofascial release modalities and the placebo group received sham
short-wave and ultrasound electrotherapy.
MAIN MEASURES: Outcome variables were number of tender points, pain, postural
stability, physical function, clinical severity and global clinical assessment of
improvement. Outcome measures were assessed before and immediately after, at six
months and one year after the last session of the corresponding intervention.
RESULTS: After 20 weeks of myofascial therapy, the experimental group showed a
significant improvement (P < 0.05) in painful tender points, McGill Pain Score
(20.6 ± 6.3, P < 0.032), physical function (56.10 ± 17.3, P < 0.029), and
clinical severity (5.08 ± 1.03, P < 0.039). At six months post intervention, the
experimental group had a significantly lower mean number of painful points, pain
score (8.25 ± 1.13, P < 0.048), physical function (58.60 ± 16.30, P < 0.049) and
clinical severity (5.28 ± 0.97, P < 0.043). At one year post intervention, the
only significant improvements were in painful points at second left rib and left
gluteal muscle, affective dimension, number of days feeling good and clinical
severity.
CONCLUSION: The results suggest that myofascial release techniques can be a
complementary therapy for pain symptoms, physical function and clinical severity
but do not improve postural stability in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome. |

BACKGROUND: Because the value of popular forms of alternative care for chronic back pain remains uncertain we compared the effectiveness of acupuncture therapeutic massage and self-care education for persistent back pain. METHODS: We randomized 262 patients aged 20 to 70 years who had persistent back pain to receive Traditional Chinese Medical acupuncture (n = 94) therapeutic massage (n = 78) or self-care educational materials (n = 90). Up to 10 massage or acupuncture visits were permitted over 10 weeks. Symptoms (0-10 scale) and dysfunction (0-23 scale) were assessed by telephone interviewers masked to treatment group. Follow-up was available for 95% of patients after 4 10 and 52 weeks and none withdrew for adverse effects. RESULTS: Treatment groups were compared after adjustment for prerandomization covariates using an intent-to-treat analysis. At 10 weeks massage was superior to self-care on the symptom scale (3.41 vs 4.71 respectively; P =.01) and the disability scale (5.88 vs 8.92 respectively; P<.001). Massage was also superior to acupuncture on the disability scale (5.89 vs 8.25 respectively; P =.01). After 1 year massage was not better than self-care but was better than acupuncture (symptom scale: 3.08 vs 4.74 respectively; P =.002; dysfunction scale: 6.29 vs 8.21 respectively; P =.05). The massage group used the least medications (P<.05) and had the lowest costs of subsequent care. CONCLUSIONS: Therapeutic massage was effective for persistent low back pain apparently providing long-lasting benefits. Traditional Chinese Medical acupuncture was relatively ineffective. Massage might be an effective alternative to conventional medical care for persistent back pain. |

Background: Few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of massage for chronic low back pain. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of 2 types of massage and usual care for chronic back pain. Design: Parallel-group randomized controlled trial. Randomization was computer-generated with centralized allocation concealment. Participants were blinded to massage type but not to assignment to massage versus usual care. Massage therapists were unblinded. The study personnel who assessed outcomes were blinded to treatment assignment. (ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT00371384) Setting: An integrated health care delivery system in the Seattle area. Patients: 401 persons 20 to 65 years of age with nonspecific chronic low back pain. Intervention: Structural massage (n = 132) relaxation massage (n = 136) or usual care (n = 133). Measurements: Roland Disability Questionnaire (RDQ) and symptom bothersomeness scores at 10 weeks (primary outcome) and at 26 and 52 weeks (secondary outcomes). Mean group differences of at least 2 points on the RDQ and at least 1.5 points on the symptom bothersomeness scale were considered clinically meaningful. Results: The massage groups had similar functional outcomes at 10 weeks. The adjusted mean RDQ score was 2.9 points (95% CI 1.8 to 4.0 points) lower in the relaxation group and 2.5 points (CI 1.4 to 3.5 points) lower in the structural massage group than in the usual care group and adjusted mean symptom bothersomeness scores were 1.7 points (CI 1.2 to 2.2 points) lower with relaxation massage and 1.4 points (CI 0.8 to 1.9 points) lower with structural massage. The beneficial effects of relaxation massage on function (but not on symptom reduction) persisted at 52 weeks but were small. Limitation: Participants were not blinded to treatment. Conclusion: Massage therapy may be effective for treatment of chronic back pain with benefits lasting at least 6 months. No clinically meaningful difference between relaxation and structural massage was observed in terms of relieving disability or symptoms.

Mean group differences of at least 2 points on the RDQ and at least 1.5 points on the symptom bothersomeness scale were considered clinically meaningful. Results: The massage groups had similar functional outcomes at 10 weeks. The adjusted mean RDQ score was 2.9 points (95% CI 1.8 to 4.0 points) lower in the relaxation group and 2.5 points (CI 1.4 to 3.5 points) lower in the structural massage group than in the usual care group and adjusted mean symptom bothersomeness scores were 1.7 points (CI 1.2 to 2.2 points) lower with relaxation massage and 1.4 points (CI 0.8 to 1.9 points) lower with structural massage. The beneficial effects of relaxation massage on function (but not on symptom reduction) persisted at 52 weeks but were small. Limitation: Participants were not blinded to treatment. Conclusion: Massage therapy may be effective for treatment of chronic back pain with benefits lasting at least 6 months. No clinically meaningful difference between relaxation and structural massage was observed in terms of relieving disability or symptoms.

Older adults living in long-term care experience high rates of chronic pain. Concerns with pharmacologic management have spurred alternative approaches. This study examined a nurse led complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) intervention aromatherapy hand massage. In this three group randomized control design 118 older adult participants with chronic pain living in long-term care facilities received either eight sessions of aromatherapy hand massage hand massage without aromatherapy or nurse presence visits administered by the nurse investigator. Chronic pain was measured before and after the intervention using the Geriatric Multidimensional Pain and Illness Inventory (GMPI) an instrument with three subscales Pain and Suffering Life Interference and Emotional Distress and the Iowa Pain Thermometer (IPT) a pain intensity measure. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and repeated measures analysis of variance for mixed design were used to test the hypothesis and answer the research questions. Group membership was found to have a significant effect on the GMPI Pain and Suffering F(2 110) = 5.807 p = .004 etap2 = .096. In addition the change in IPT scores differed within groups over time F(2 110) = 4.293 p = .016 etap2 = .072. The results indicate aromatherapy hand massage or hand massage without aromatherapy significantly decrease chronic pain intensity compared to nurse presence visits in older adults with chronic pain. This safe simple but effective intervention could be taught to caregivers to improve chronic pain management in this population. |

This study was performed in order to compare the effectiveness of two different manual treatment methods in patients with chronic tension type headache (TTH). A total of 35 patients were randomly assigned into two groups; 30 of them completed the treatment programs. Superficial heat and classical massage were applied to both groups. In addition to these methods connective tissue manipulation (CTM) was performed to Group I (n = 15) and Dr. James Cyriax''s vertebral mobilisation to Group II (n = 15). Treatment consisted of 20 sessions during four weeks. The following parameters were evaluated before treatment immediately after treatment and one month after the treatment in order to compare the effectiveness of the methods: headache index values active cervical range of motion and pressure pain threshold values. Results of the study indicated that all of the parameters showed significant improvements in both groups: there were no differences between the groups as regards the headache index the pressure pain threshold values and the active range of motion (p > 0.05). In conclusion both treatments can be used in patients with chronic tension-type headache. |

INTRODUCTION: Anma therapy is a traditional style of Japanese massage one of touch and manual therapies and one of the most popular CAM therapies in Japan. It was brought from China in the 6th century and while based on the theory of Chinese medicine it developed in Japan according to Japanese preference and has recently come to include theories of Western medicine. The purpose of this study was to clarify the physical and psychological effects of Anma therapy. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: Fifteen healthy female volunteers in their fifth decade with chronic muscle stiffness in the neck and shoulder received two interventions: 40-min Anma therapy and 40-min rest intervention. The design was cross-over design. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. Group A was started on Anma therapy from the first day followed by the rest intervention after a 3-day interval. The order of the Anma therapy and the rest intervention reversed for Group B. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score for muscle stiffness in the neck and shoulder state anxiety score and salivary cortisol concentration levels and secretory immunoglobulin A (s-IgA) were measured pre- and post-interventions. RESULTS: Anma therapy significantly reduced VAS scores and state anxiety scores. S-IgA concentration levels increased significantly across both groups. CONCLUSION: Anma therapy reduced muscle stiffness in the neck and shoulder and anxiety levels in this pilot study of 50-year-old females. |

Methods: Forty-six adults with hand pain were randomly assigned to a massage therapy or a standard treatment control group. Those assigned to the massage therapy group were massaged by a therapist on the affected hand once a week for a 4-week period and were also taught self-massage on the hand that was to be done by the individual participant once daily. Results: The massage therapy group versus the control group had less pain and greater grip strength after the first and last sessions and their anxiety and depressed mood scores decreased more than the control group. Over the four-week period the massage group had a greater decrease in pain and a greater increase in grip strength as well as lower scores on anxiety depressed mood and sleep disturbance scales. |

| Abstract |
Methods: Forty-six adults with hand pain were randomly assigned to a massage therapy or a standard treatment control group. Those assigned to the massage therapy group were massaged by a therapist on the affected hand once a week for a 4-week period and were also taught self-massage on the hand that was to be done by the individual participant once daily. Results: The massage therapy group versus the control group had less pain and greater grip strength after the first and last sessions and their anxiety and depressed mood scores decreased more than the control group. Over the four-week period the massage group had a greater decrease in pain and a greater increase in grip strength as well as lower scores on anxiety depressed mood and sleep disturbance scales. |

Methods: Forty-two adults with rheumatoid arthritis in the upper limbs were randomly assigned to a moderate pressure or a light pressure massage therapy group. A therapist massaged the affected arm and shoulder once a week for a 4-week period and also taught the participant self-massage to be done once daily. Results: The moderate pressure vs. the light pressure massage therapy group had less pain and perceived greater grip strength following the first and last massage sessions. By the end of the one month period the moderate pressure massage group had less pain greater grip strength and greater range of motion in their wrist and large upper joints (elbows and shoulders). |

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a disease whose exact cause is unknown. The focus of this study was to examine the effects of massage therapy (MT) on the well-being of patients with CFS. MT was expected to reduce depression anxiety and stress hormones as it has previously been shown to do in other groups of depressed individuals. 20 Ss with CFS (mean age 47 yrs) were randomly assigned either to the massage therapy or an attention control (SHAM TENS) group 10 to a group. The results suggest greater improvement in self-report measures and biochemical values in those receiving MT vs SHAM TENS. Depression anxiety and pain not only decreased immediately after receiving the 1st massage but continued to decrease over the 5-wk treatment period. MT helped alleviate not only fatigue symptoms but other somatic symptoms associated with CFS. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA all rights reserved) |

PURPOSE: We determined the efficacy and safety of pelvic floor myofascial physical therapy compared to global therapeutic massage in women with newly symptomatic interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A randomized controlled trial of 10 scheduled treatments of myofascial physical therapy vs global therapeutic massage was performed at 11 clinical centers in North America. We recruited women with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome with demonstrable pelvic floor tenderness on physical examination and a limitation of no more than 3 years'' symptom duration. The primary outcome was the proportion of responders defined as moderately improved or markedly improved in overall symptoms compared to baseline on a 7-point global response assessment scale. Secondary outcomes included ratings for pain urgency and frequency the O''Leary-Sant IC Symptom and Problem Index and reports of adverse events. We compared response rates between treatment arms using the exact conditional version of the Mantel-Haenszel test to control for clustering by clinical center. For secondary efficacy outcomes cross-sectional descriptive statistics and changes from baseline were calculated. RESULTS: A total of 81 women randomized to the 2 treatment groups had similar symptoms at baseline. The global response assessment response rate was 26% in the global therapeutic massage group and 59% in the myofascial physical therapy group (p=0.0012). Pain urgency and frequency ratings and O''Leary-Sant IC Symptom and Problem Index decreased in both groups during followup and were not significantly different between the groups. Pain was the most common adverse event occurring at similar rates in both groups. No serious adverse events were reported. CONCLUSIONS: A significantly higher proportion of women with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome responded to treatment with myofascial physical therapy than to global therapeutic massage. Myofascial physical therapy may be a beneficial therapy in women with this syndrome. |

| Abstract |
PURPOSE: We determined the efficacy and safety of pelvic floor myofascial physical therapy compared to global therapeutic massage in women with newly symptomatic interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A randomized controlled trial of 10 scheduled treatments of myofascial physical therapy vs global therapeutic massage was performed at 11 clinical centers in North America. We recruited women with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome with demonstrable pelvic floor tenderness on physical examination and a limitation of no more than 3 years'' symptom duration. The primary outcome was the proportion of responders defined as moderately improved or markedly improved in overall symptoms compared to baseline on a 7-point global response assessment scale. Secondary outcomes included ratings for pain urgency and frequency the O''Leary-Sant IC Symptom and Problem Index and reports of adverse events. We compared response rates between treatment arms using the exact conditional version of the Mantel-Haenszel test to control for clustering by clinical center. For secondary efficacy outcomes cross-sectional descriptive statistics and changes from baseline were calculated. RESULTS: A total of 81 women randomized to the 2 treatment groups had similar symptoms at baseline. The global response assessment response rate was 26% in the global therapeutic massage group and 59% in the myofascial physical therapy group (p=0.0012). Pain urgency and frequency ratings and O''Leary-Sant IC Symptom and Problem Index decreased in both groups during followup and were not significantly different between the groups. Pain was the most common adverse event occurring at similar rates in both groups. No serious adverse events were reported. CONCLUSIONS: A significantly higher proportion of women with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome responded to treatment with myofascial physical therapy than to global therapeutic massage. Myofascial physical therapy may be a beneficial therapy in women with this syndrome. |
