OBJECTIVE: To determine if light pressure effleurage (leg rubbing) during genetic
amniocentesis reduces procedure-related pain and anxiety.
METHODS: Two hundred women with singleton gestations undergoing genetic
amniocentesis between 15-22 weeks recorded their level of anticipated pain and
anxiety on a 10-cm linear visual analog scale prior to the amniocentesis.
Subjects were then randomized to receive effleurage or no effleurage by the
assisting nurse during the procedure. Subjects were blinded to the effleurage
nature of the study. Following the amniocentesis, subjects repeated the pain and
anxiety scoring.
RESULTS: The two groups were similar with respect to subject and procedure
characteristics, as well as anticipated pain or anxiety prior to amniocentesis.
Postamniocentesis pain and anxiety scoring were similar in the two groups. The
mean effleurage acceptance score was 8.3 +/- 1.8 (out of 10), and 90.2% of
subjects reported that they would want effleurage with future amniocenteses.
CONCLUSIONS: Although well accepted by women, light pressure effleurage during
genetic amniocentesis does not reduce procedure-related pain or anxiety. |

BACKGROUND: Because of the widely presumed association between heart disease and psychological wellbeing the use of so-called ''complementary'' therapies as adjuncts to conventional treatment modalities have been the subject of considerable debate. The present study arose from an attempt to identify a safe and effective therapeutic intervention to promote well being which could be practicably delivered by nurses to patients in the postoperative recovery period following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Aim. To investigate the impact of foot massage and guided relaxation on the wellbeing of patients who had undergone CABG surgery. METHOD: Twenty-five subjects were randomly assigned to either a control or one of two intervention groups. Psychological and physical variables were measured immediately before and after the intervention. A discharge questionnaire was also administered. RESULTS: No significant differences between physiological parameters were found. There was a significant effect of the intervention on the calm scores (ANOVA P=0.014). Dennett''s multiple comparison showed that this was attributable to increased calm among the massage group. Although not significant the guided relaxation group also reported substantially higher levels of calm than control. There was a clear (nonsignificant) trend across all psychological variables for both foot massage and to a lesser extent guided relaxation to improve psychological wellbeing. Both interventions were well received by the subjects. CONCLUSIONS: These interventions appear to be effective noninvasive techniques for promoting psychological wellbeing in this patient group. Further investigation is indicated. |

This randomized-controlled study examined the effects of foot massage on patients'' perception of care received following surgery. The sample of 59 women who underwent laparoscopic sterilization as day case patients were randomly allocated into two groups. The experimental group received a foot massage and analgesia post-operatively whilst the control group received only analgesia post-operatively. Each participant was asked to complete a questionnaire on the day following surgery. This examined satisfaction memory and analgesia taken. The 76% response rate was comparable with other patient satisfaction studies following day-case surgery. Statistical analysis showed no overall significant difference in the pain experienced by the two groups; however the mean pain scores recorded following surgery showed a significantly different pattern over time such that the experimental group consistently reported less pain following a foot massage than the control group. This study has attempted to explore the use of foot massage in a systematic way and is therefore a basis for further study. |

HYPOTHESIS: Adjuvant massage therapy improves pain management and postoperative anxiety among many patients who experience unrelieved postoperative pain. Pharmacologic interventions alone may not address all of the factors involved in the experience of pain. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals in Ann Arbor Michigan and Indianapolis Indiana. PATIENTS: Six hundred five veterans (mean age 64 years) undergoing major surgery from February 1 2003 through January 31 2005. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were assigned to the following 3 groups: (1) control (routine care) (2) individualized attention from a massage therapist (20 minutes) or (3) back massage by a massage therapist each evening for up to 5 postoperative days. Main Outcome Measure Short- and long-term (> 4 days) pain intensity pain unpleasantness and anxiety measured by visual analog scales. RESULTS: Compared with the control group patients in the massage group experienced short-term (preintervention vs postintervention) decreases in pain intensity (P = .001) pain unpleasantness (P < .001) and anxiety (P = .007). In addition patients in the massage group experienced a faster rate of decrease in pain intensity (P = .02) and unpleasantness (P = .01) during the first 4 postoperative days compared with the control group. There were no differences in the rates of decrease in long-term anxiety length of stay opiate use or complications across the 3 groups. CONCLUSION: Massage is an effective and safe adjuvant therapy for the relief of acute postoperative pain in patients undergoing major operations. |

In addition patients in the massage group experienced a faster rate of decrease in pain intensity (P = .02) and unpleasantness (P = .01) during the first 4 postoperative days compared with the control group. There were no differences in the rates of decrease in long-term anxiety length of stay opiate use or complications across the 3 groups. CONCLUSION: Massage is an effective and safe adjuvant therapy for the relief of acute postoperative pain in patients undergoing major operations. |

INTRODUCTION: Having poor sleep quality is common among patients following cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery. Pain stress anxiety and poor sleep quality may be improved by massage therapy. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated whether massage therapy is an effective technique for improving sleep quality in patients following cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery. METHOD: Participants included cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery patients who were randomized into a control group and a massage therapy group following discharge from the intensive care unit (Day 0) during the postoperative period. The control group and the massage therapy group comprised participants who were subjected to three nights without massage and three nights with massage therapy respectively. The patients were evaluated on the following mornings (i.e. Day 1 to Day 3) using a visual analogue scale for pain in the chest back and shoulders in addition to fatigue and sleep. Participants kept a sleep diary during the study period. RESULTS: Fifty-seven cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery patients were enrolled in the study during the preoperative period 17 of whom were excluded due to postoperative complications. The remaining 40 participants (male: 67.5% age: 61.9 years +/- 8.9 years body mass index: 27.2 kg/m(2) +/- 3.7 kg/m(2)) were randomized into control (n = 20) and massage therapy (n = 20) groups. Pain in the chest shoulders and back decreased significantly in both groups from Day 1 to Day 3. The participants in the massage therapy group had fewer complaints of fatigue on Day 1 (p=0.006) and Day 2 (p=0.028) in addition they reported a more effective sleep during all three days (p=0.019) when compared with the participants in the control group. CONCLUSION: Massage therapy is an effective technique for improving patient recovery from cardiopulmonary artery bypass graft surgery because it reduces fatigue and improves sleep. |

BACKGROUND: Opioid analgesia alone may not fully relieve all aspects of acute postoperative pain. Complementary medicine techniques used as adjuvant therapies have the potential to improve pain management and palliate postoperative distress. STUDY DESIGN: This prospective randomized clinical trial compared pain relief after major operations in 202 patients who received one of three nursing interventions: massage focused attention or routine care. Interventions were performed twice daily starting 24 hours after the operation through postoperative day 7. Perceived pain was measured each morning. RESULTS: The rate of decline in the unpleasantness of postoperative pain was accelerated by massage (p = 0.05). Massage also accelerated the rate of decline in the intensity of postoperative pain but this effect was not statistically significant. Use of opioid analgesics was not altered significantly by the interventions. CONCLUSIONS: Massage may be a useful adjuvant therapy for the management of acute postoperative pain. Its greatest effect appears to be on the affective component (ie unpleasantness) of the pain. |

CONTEXT:
Despite major advances in cancer treatment, many patients undergo painful procedures during treatment and suffer debilitating side effects as well as report a decrease in quality of life (QOL). This problem is exacerbated for low-income, racial, and ethnic minorities with cancer. Minority cancer patients often enter care with larger tumors and with a more aggressive disease, increasing the risk of debilitating symptoms, such as pain and anxiety. Researchers have never assessed the feasibility and effectiveness of offering massage therapy for low-income, underserved cancer patients who are undergoing port insertion.
OBJECTIVE:
This study examined the feasibility of conducting a randomized, controlled trial (RCT) that would assess the use of massage therapy to reduce pain and anxiety in urban patients with cancer who undergo surgical placement of a vascular access device (port). The study also assessed the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing perioperative pain and anxiety.
DESIGN:
The research team conducted a 9-month RC T of 60 cancer patients undergoing port placement. The research team randomly assigned patients in a 2:1 ratio to usual care with massage therapy (intervention group) versus usual care with structured attention (control group).
SETTING:
The study took place at Boston Medical Center (BMC), which is an urban, tertiary-referral, safety-net hospital.
PARTICIPANTS:
Participants were cancer patients undergoing port placement. Sixty-seven percent were racial or ethnic minorities, and the majority were female and unemployed, with annual household incomes <$30 000 and publicly funded health insurance coverage.
INTERVENTION:
For the intervention, an expert panel developed a reproducible, standardized massage therapy intended for individuals undergoing surgical port insertion. Both groups received 20-minute interventions immediately pre- and postsurgery. The research team collected data on pain and anxiety before and after the preoperative and postoperative interventions as well as 1 day after the surgery.
OUTCOME MEASURES:
With respect to feasibility, the study examined (1) data about recruitment--time to complete enrollment and proportion of racial and ethnic minorities enrolled; (2) participants' retention; and (3) adherence to treatment allocation. The efficacy outcomes included measuring (1) participants' average pain level using an 11-point numerical rating scale (0 = no pain to 10 = worst possible pain) and (2) participants' situational anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).
RESULTS:
The research team assigned the 60 patients to the groups over 53 weeks. Sixty-seven percent of the participants were racial or ethnic minorities. A majority were female and unemployed, with annual household incomes <$30 000 and publicly funded health insurance coverage. Of the 40 patients allocated to massage therapy, the majority (n = 33) received both the pre- and postoperative interventions. Massage therapy participants had a statistically significant, greater reduction in anxiety after the first intervention compared with individuals receiving structured attention (-10.27 vs -5.21, P = .0037).
CONCLUSIONS:
Recruitment of low-income, minority patients into an RCT of massage therapy for perioperative pain and anxiety is feasible. Both massage therapy and structured attention proved beneficial for alleviating preoperative anxiety in cancer patients undergoing port placement |

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of adjunctive postoperative massage and vibration therapy on short-term postsurgical pain negative affect and physiologic stress reactivity. DESIGN: Prospective randomized controlled trial. The treatment groups were: (1) usual postoperative care (UC); (2) UC plus massage therapy; or (3) UC plus vibration therapy. SETTING: The University of Virginia Hospital Surgical Units Gynecology-Oncology Clinic and General Clinical Research Center. SUBJECTS: One hundred and five (N = 105) women who underwent an abdominal laparotomy for removal of suspected cancerous lesions. INTERVENTIONS: All patients received UC with analgesic medication. Additionally the massage group received standardized 45-minute sessions of gentle Swedish massage on the 3 consecutive evenings after surgery and the vibration group received 20-minute sessions of inaudible vibration therapy (physiotones) on the 3 consecutive evenings after surgery as well as additional sessions as desired. OUTCOME MEASURES: Sensory pain affective pain anxiety distress analgesic use systolic blood pressure 24-hour urine free cortisol number of postoperative complications and days of hospitalization. RESULTS: On the day of surgery massage was more effective than UC for affective (p = 0.0244) and sensory pain (p = 0.0428) and better than vibration for affective pain (p = 0.0015). On postoperative day 2 massage was more effective than UC for distress (p = 0.0085) and better than vibration for sensory pain (p = 0.0085). Vibration was also more effective than UC for sensory pain (p = 0.0090) and distress (p = .0090). However after controlling for multiple comparisons and multiple outcomes no significant differences were found. CONCLUSIONS: Gentle Swedish massage applied postoperatively may have minor effects on short-term sensory pain affective pain and distress among women undergoing an abdominal laparotomy for removal of suspected malignant tissues. |

Objectives: (1) To assess the efficacy of a 20 minute massage therapy session on pain anxiety and tension in patients before an invasive cardiovascular procedure. (2) To assess overall patient satisfaction with the massage therapy. (3) To evaluate the feasibility of integrating massage therapy into preprocedural practices. Experimental pretest-posttest design using random assignment. Medical cardiology progressive care units at a Midwestern Academic Medical Center. Patients (N=130) undergoing invasive cardiovascular procedures. The intervention group received 20 minutes of hands on massage at least 30 minutes before an invasive cardiovascular procedure. Control group patients received standard preprocedural care. Visual analogue scales were used to collect verbal numeric responses measuring pain anxiety and tension pre- and postprocedure. The differences between pre- and postprocedure scores were compared between the massage and standard therapy groups using the Mann-Whitney Wilcoxon''s test. Scores for pain anxiety and tension scores were identified along with an increase in satisfaction for patients who received a 20-minute massage before procedure compared with those receiving standard care. This pilot study showed that massage can be incorporated into medical cardiovascular units'' preprocedural practice and adds validity to prior massage studies. |
