Full textAbstract:
Introduction: The chronic painful shoulder syndrome comprises the set of symptoms located in the area of the shoulder girdle and all the structures which make this complex, namely, the scapula, the clavicle and the arm. The complexity of the structures, which make up for the shoulder girdle, results in frequent dysfunctions as the abnormality in functioning of only one element can lead to the problems with the whole structure. Pain and limited joint mobility are the most frequent symptoms. The dysfunctions of the shoulder girdle limit the patient’s independence and evoke mental and physical discomfort which decrease the quality of life. The syndrome often occurs as a main disorder but in many cases its symptoms coexist with other diseases. The purposeof the work was to present the possibility of application of therapeutic (tensegrity) massage in the chronic pain shoulder syndrome.Material and methods: This article presents the process of massage application to different muscles of the shoulder in the appropriate order, which is called the therapeutic (tensegrity) massage. The purpose of the massage is to decrease the tonus of the muscle and increase the blood flow which ought to result in restoring the shoulder function. Six 45–minute-long massage sessions were performed and repeated every three days.Results: After the therapy, the decrease of painful shoulder was observed along with the vanish of the shoulder and the arm lifting habit. After this massage period, when the pain was smaller, the patient immediately wanted to continue physiotherapy.Conclusions: Massage is one of the forms of therapy, which can be used in the painful shoulder syndrome. It might often constitute the introductory stage to the rehabilitation aimed at mobilization of the patient.

Background: Chronic localized pain and decreased upper extremity mobility commonly occur following breast cancer surgery and may persist despite use of pain medication and physical therapy.Purpose: We sought to determine the value of myofascial massage to address these pain and mobility limitations.Setting: The study took place at a clinical massage spa in the U.S. Midwest. The research was overseen by MetroHealth Medical Center’s Institutional Review Board and Case Center for Reducing Health Disparities research staff.Participants: 21 women with persistent pain and mobility limitations 3–18 months following breast surgery.Research Design: We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial where intervention patients received myofascial massages and control patients received relaxation massages.Intervention: Intervention participants received 16 myofascial massage sessions over eight weeks that focused on the affected breast, chest, and shoulder areas. Control participants received 16 relaxation massage sessions over eight weeks that avoided the affected breast, chest, and shoulder areas. Participants completed a validated questionnaire at the beginning and end of the study that asked about pain, mobility, and quality of life.Main Outcome Measures: Outcome measures include change in self-reported pain, self-reported mobility, and three quality-of-life questions.Results: At baseline, intervention and control participants were similar in demographic and medical characteristics, pain and mobility ratings, and quality of life. Compared to control participants, intervention participants had more favorable changes in pain (-10.7 vs. +0.4, p < .001), mobility (-14.5 vs. -0.8, p < .001), and general health (+29.5 vs. -2.5, p = .002) after eight weeks. All intervention and control participants reported that receiving massage treatments was a positive experience.Conclusions: Myofascial massage is a promising treatment to address chronic pain and mobility limitations following breast cancer surgery. Further work in several areas is needed to confirm and expand on our study findings.

Background Soft tissue massage and exercise are commonly used to treat episodes of shoulder pain. Objective The study objective was to compare the effects of soft tissue massage and exercise with those of exercise alone on pain, disability, and range of motion in people with nonspecific shoulder pain. Design This was a randomized controlled trial. Setting The study was conducted in public hospital physical therapy clinics in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Participants The study participants were 80 people with an average age of 62.6 years (SD=12.2) who were referred to physical therapists for treatment of nonspecific shoulder pain. Intervention Participants were randomly assigned to either a group that received soft tissue massage around the shoulder and exercises (n=40) or a group that received exercise only (n=40) for 4 weeks. Measurements The primary outcome was improvement in pain, as measured on a 100-mm visual analog scale, 1 week after the cessation of treatment. Secondary outcomes were disability and active flexion, abduction, and hand-behind-back range of motion. Measurements were obtained at baseline, 1 week after the cessation of treatment, and 12 weeks after the cessation of treatment. Results The between-group difference in pain scores from the baseline to 12 weeks after the cessation of treatment demonstrated a small significant difference in favor of the group receiving exercise only (mean difference=14.7 mm). There were no significant differences between groups in any other variable. Limitations It was not possible to mask therapists or participants to group allocation. Diagnostic tests were not used on participants to determine specific shoulder pathology. Conclusions The addition of soft tissue massage to an exercise program for the shoulder conferred no additional benefit for improving pain, disability, or range of motion in people with nonspecific shoulder pain.

Background and objective: Laparoscopic surgery has become a widespread operation for treatment of uncomplicated symptomatic abdominal pathologies. Gynecological laparoscopic procedures are often associated with shoulder pain that may cause more discomfort to the women than the pain at the site of incision. Relive of shoulder pain is an essential goal of gynecological nurse. Its management could be pharmacological or non-pharmacological methods. Among the non-pharmacological approaches are the use of effleurage massage and warm application. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of effleurage massage versus warm application on shoulder pain among postoperative women with gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods: Design: A comparative non-randomized controlled clinical trial was utilized in the present study started by the beginning of September 2018 and continued until the end of January 2019. Setting: This study was carried out in the laparoscopic unit at the Elshatby Maternity University Hospital in Alexandria. Subjects: A convenience sample of 80 women who were available at the time of data collection were recruited from the above mentioned setting. Tools: Tool I: Socio-demographic and clinical data structured interview schedule. Tool II: Visual analog scale (VAS), Tool III: physiologic and behavioral response to pain sheet (PBRPS), Tool IV: A modified version of Johansson Pain-o-meter (JPOM).Results: The study results revealed that shoulder pain intensity was statistically significant before and after intervention among the massage and warm application groups (p = .000). It was also statistically significant between the two groups after intervention (p = .000), where a sizeable proportion of the effleurage massage group (70%) experienced no pain, compared to only 25% of the warm application group.Conclusions: The current study suggests that massage group induces less shoulder pain intensity than the other modality.

Full textAbstract:
Previous reviews of massage therapy for chronic, non-malignant pain have focused on discrete pain conditions. This article aims to provide a broad overview of the literature on the effectiveness of massage for a variety of chronic, non-malignant pain complaints to identify gaps in the research and to inform future clinical trials. Computerized databases were searched for relevant studies including prior reviews and primary trials of massage therapy for chronic, non-malignant pain. Existing research provides fairly robust support for the analgesic effects of massage for non-specific low back pain, but only moderate support for such effects on shoulder pain and headache pain. There is only modest, preliminary support for massage in the treatment of fibromyalgia, mixed chronic pain conditions, neck pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. Thus, research to date provides varying levels of evidence for the benefits of massage therapy for different chronic pain conditions. Future studies should employ rigorous study designs and include follow-up assessments for additional quantification of the longer-term effects of massage on chronic pain.

Background/Aims Shoulder problems are common in the general population. The aim of this research was to compare the short and long-term effects of trigger point deep friction massage and trigger point dry needling therapy on rest, activity, and the intensity of night shoulder pain and shoulder internal rotation in Subacromial Pain Syndrome. Methods Out of 73 outpatients diagnosed with Subacromial Pain Syndrome, 40 were selected according to agreed criteria and were randomly assigned to two groups. A total of 19 patients received trigger point deep friction massage and 21 received trigger point dry needling therapy. The trigger point deep friction massage group received treatment over 3 weeks and the trigger point dry needling therapy group received treatments over 4 weeks. Both groups received six treatment sessions and a programme of post-treatment exercises. The shoulder internal rotation angle was measured using a goniometer, and pain intensities were measured using a visual analogue scale before the first session, after six sessions and after 1 year. Results According to both the short- and long-term data, significant improvements were seen in both groups for all parameters. However, when the groups were compared, no significant difference was found between the two interventions, although the trigger point deep friction massage intervention showed earlier improvements as the treatments could be carried out in 3 weeks, rather than the 4 weeks required for the trigger point dry needling therapy sessions. Conclusions Both trigger point deep friction massage and trigger point dry needling therapy are effective in improving pain and shoulder internal rotation. Both groups maintained significant clinical improvement throughout the year. Although both interventions produced good results, trigger point deep friction massage treatments were completed in a shorter time and so demonstrated earlier improvements. Therefore, Trigger point deep friction massage may be regarded as the preferred option, particularly as no equipment is needed and is a non-invasive method of treatment.

Introduction: Postlaparoscopic shoulder pain (PLSP) has been well documented to effect patients following an abdominal or thoracic laparoscopic surgery. PLSP is characterized by referred pain that can occur both unilaterally or bilaterally, and is typically caused by phrenic nerve irritation. Current literature has focused on pharmacological treatment; however, there is limited evidence for the use of nonpharmacological management of PLSP in the pediatric population.
Case Description: This retrospective case report study explores the use of a single-session massage therapy treatment for a 17-year-old patient with PLSP following laparoscopic abdominal surgery.
Intervention and Results: Therapy intervention included a 25 min Swedish massage involving the effected shoulder with an emphasis on passive touch to the shoulder and at the level of the diaphragm. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pre- and postintervention. Following therapy the patient reported 0/10 pain.
Conclusion: This case report provides evidence for the use of massage therapy treatment as a noninvasive, nonpharmacological approach to reducing or eliminating PLSP in a pediatric patient.

Objective.To evaluate the effectiveness of massage therapy (MT) for neck and shoulder pain.Methods.Seven English and Chinese databases were searched until December 2011 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of MT for neck and shoulder pain. The methodological quality of RCTs was assessed based on PEDro scale. The meta-analyses of MT for neck and shoulder pain were performed.Results.Twelve high-quality studies were included. In immediate effects, the meta-analyses showed significant effects of MT for neck pain (standardised mean difference, SMD, 1.79; 95% confidence intervals, CI, 1.01 to 2.57;P<0.00001) and shoulder pain (SMD, 1.50; 95% CI, 0.55 to 2.45;P=0.002) versus inactive therapies. And MT showed short-term effects for shoulder pain (SMD, 1.51; 95% CI, 0.53 to 2.49;P=0.003). But MT did not show better effects for neck pain (SMD, 0.13; 95% CI, −0.38 to 0.63;P=0.63) or shoulder pain (SMD, 0.88; 95% CI, −0.74 to 2.51;P=0.29) than active therapies. In addition, functional status of the shoulder was not significantly affected by MT.Conclusion.MT may provide immediate effects for neck and shoulder pain. However, MT does not show better effects on pain than other active therapies. No evidence suggests that MT is effective in functional status.

Full textAbstract:
Subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS) is a prevalent condition that results in loss of function. Surgery is indicated when pain and functional limitations persist after conservative measures, with scarce evidence about the most-appropriate post-operative approach. Interferential therapy (IFT), as a supplement to other interventions, has shown to relieve musculoskeletal pain. The study aim was to investigate the effects of adding IFT electro-massage to usual care after surgery in adults with SAPS. A randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial was carried out. Fifty-six adults with SAPS, who underwent acromioplasty in the previous 12 weeks, were equally distributed into an IFT electro-massage group or a control group. All participants underwent a two-week intervention (three times per week). The control group received usual care (thermotherapy, therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, and ultrasound). For participants in the IFT electro-massage group, a 15-min IFT electro-massage was added to usual care in every session. Shoulder pain intensity was assessed with a 100-mm visual analogue scale. Secondary measures included upper limb functionality (Constant-Murley score), and pain-free passive range of movement. A blinded evaluator collected outcomes at baseline and after the last treatment session. The ANOVA revealed a significant group effect, for those who received IFT electro-massage, for improvements in pain intensity, upper limb function, and shoulder flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation (all, p < 0.01). There were no between-group differences for shoulder extension (p = 0.531) and adduction (p = 0.340). Adding IFT electro-massage to usual care, including manual therapy and exercises, revealed greater positive effects on pain, upper limb function, and mobility in adults with SAPS after acromioplasty.

Background:Pain shoulder syndrome is one of the most common conditions that is inherent in patients with various diseases and conditions. This problem is faced by both patients of a rheumatological profile (rheumatoid arthritis), and patients of other profiles: neurological (stroke, hernia of the cervical spine), traumatological (periarthritis). The regular use of painkillers and NSAID is associated with a risk of serious adverse reactions in patients.PNF therapy can have a fairly quick positive effect. Kinesiotaiping is a common and easily accessible treatment method that, due to the inclusion of local neuromuscular adaptation mechanisms, can have an analgesic effect.Objectives:The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of traditional treatment methods in combination.Methods:Patients with pain shoulder syndrome who were admitted to the doctor of physical and rehabilitation medicine were randomly assigned to one of three groups: group G1 - 20 patients who received combined treatment, including massage, acupuncture, PNF, kinesiotherapy.Patients of group G2 (20 people) who received massage and acupuncture sessions, kinesiotherapy, but did not deal with PNF.Patients in group G3 (20 people) received massage, acupuncture, and PNF, excluding kinesiotaping.All patients received treatment 5 times a week (Monday to Friday, excluding Saturday and Sunday), the total duration of the rehabilitation course is 20 days. The program included: 30 minutes an acupuncture session, 20 minutes massage, 45 minutes physical exercises with a physical therapist. Classes using the PNF technique were carried out separately every other day for 45 minutes using the standard method for shoulder pain.VAS was used to monitor efficacy. Pain was assessed at the beginning of the study, with the third, sixth, ninth and last visit to the clinic.Results:The age composition of the patient group is from 31 to 70 years. The gender composition is 35 (58.33%) women, and 25 (41.67%) men.The average time between the onset of clinical symptoms and the first treatment session was 47.3 days. In 90% of patients, a history of pain lasted from 6 weeks or more. 52 patients (86.67%) completed the treatment completely. Of these, G1 is 19 people (90% of this group), 16 (80%) in G2, and 17 of 20 in the G3 group (85%).The average VAS score in G1 was 5.15 at the start of the study, and after the tenth session, it dropped to 2.78. A significant decrease in pain is also observed in the G2 group (from 5.17 at the beginning of the study to 3.19 after the tenth session). The G3 group in terms of pain reduction almost equaled the G1 group, where the level of pain from 5.16 decreased to 2.71.Patients within 6 months after treatment evaluated the level of pain on their own and reported the data to the doctor. In patients of group G1, after 6 months, the average VAS score is 3.71. G3 patients after 6 months, the VAS score is 4.25 points. Patients of the G2 group at 3 months noted a return of the pain syndrome, after 3 months, the VAS score was 5.11.Conclusion:The obtained results testify to the high efficiency of PNF therapy, however, the combination with kinesiotyping allows better consolidation of the effect of therapy and prolongs remission of pain syndrome.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Introduction: Massage has shown promise in reducing symptoms related to dissociation and anxiety that can exacerbate chronic pain and suffering. The combat wounded, veteran population is increasing and requires a multidisciplinary approach for comprehensive treatment. This case study examines massage therapy use to improve veteran combat injury rehabilitation and recovery experience through purposive, retrospective, and comprehensive SOAP note review. Methods: A 31-year-old White male received seven, 60-min, full body massages for combat related shoulder injury complications incurred approximately six years before presentation. The right shoulder sustained a broken humeral head and complete dislocation during a defensive maneuver in a life-threatening attack. This case study utilized data from three different assessments: goniometric measurements for shoulder range of motion, observation and documentation for environmental comfort behaviors, and client self-report for treatment goal attainment. Six weekly, full body, 60-min massages were completed sequentially. A follow-up 60-min treatment was completed at Week 8. Treatment to the injured area included focused trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation to the neck, shoulder, and chest. Results: Total percent change for active flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation were 12.5, 150, 40, 167, 14.3, and 0%, respectively. Total percent change for passive flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation were 63.6, 350, 66.7, 450, 133, and 77.8%, respectively. Environmental comfort behaviors were reduced. Client treatment goals were attained. Conclusions: Massage therapy provided meaningful benefit to a combat injury for a veteran with PTSD.

Background and Objectives: There is limited access to health care in rural Ghana and virtually no rehabilitative services available. This situation presents a unique opportunity to utilizechair massage in addressing women’s health in rural Ghana, particularly when it comes to muscle pain and fatigue from heavy labor. The objective of this case report is to determine the results of chair massage as a strategy to reduce neck, shoulder, and back pain, while increasing range of motion.Case Presentation: The patient is a 63-year old Ghanaian female, who was struck by a public transport van while carrying a 30–50 pound load on her head, two years prior. The accident resulted in a broken right humerus and soft tissue pain. A traditional medicine practitioner set the bone, however there was no post-accident rehabilitation available. At the time of referral, she presented complaints of shoulder, elbow, and wrist pain. In addition, she was unable to raise her right hand to hermouth for food intake.Results: The results of this case report include an increase in range of motion, as well as elimination of pain in the right shoulder, elbow, and hand. Visual assessments showed an approximate increase of ROM within the ranges of 45–65 degrees in the right arm, as well as 10–15 degrees in 4th and 5th fingers. There was also a decrease in muscle hypertonicity in the thoracic and cervical areas, and a profound increase in quality of life for the patient.Discussion: This case report illustrates how therapeutic chair massage was utilized to address a common health concern for one woman in rural Ghana. It also demonstrates that pre-existing musculoskeletal disorders and pain may be eliminated with massage intervention. Massage therapy may be important to ameliorating certain types of health problems in remote rural villages in low income countries.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of LASER therapy and to correlate with electrotherapy (TENS, stabile galvanization) in subjects after stroke. We analyzed 70 subjects after stroke with pain in shoulder and oedema of paralyzed hand. The examinees were divided in two groups of 35, and they were treated in the Clinic for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in Tuzla during 2006 and 2007. Experimental group (EG) had a treatment with LASER, while the control group (CG) was treated with electrotherapy. Both groups had kinesis therapy and ice massage. All patients were examined on the admission and discharge by using the VAS, DASH, Barthel index and FIM. The pain intensity in shoulder was significantly reduced in EG (p<0,0001), swelling is lowered in EG (p=0,01). Barthel index in both groups was significant higher (p<0,01). DASH was significantly improved after LASER therapy in EG (p<0,01). EG had higher level of independency (p<0,01). LASER therapy used on EG shows significantly better results in reducing pain, swelling, disability and improvement of independency

Objectives: Pain and shoulder dysfunction are among the adverse and prevalent conditions in post-mastectomy women. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine massage therapy with and without elastic bandaging on pain, edema, and shoulder dysfunction after modified radical mastectomy. Materials and Methods: This was a clinical trial conducted at Imam Reza hospital, Tabriz, Iran, from December 22, 2018, to May 5, 2019. Ninety women participated in this study and were randomly divided into three groups of 30 (i.e., Manual lymph drainage, Manual lymph drainage plus reduced-compression bandaging, and control) based on a random number table. Patients and their companions were instructed on the intervention to be performed at home on a daily basis 24 hours after surgery with the help of a trained research assistant. Data were entered in the relevant forms before and after the intervention, including demographic information, shoulder pain and dysfunction index (SPDI), and edema checklist. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and the Kruskal-Wallis test in SPSS 19. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The comparison of the main variables between the three groups before and after the intervention showed no statistically significant difference (P>0.0560). The intervention could significantly change pain intensity and shoulder movement limitation (P=0.001). However, there was no difference in the edema variable before and after the intervention (P=0.25). Conclusions: In general, massage therapy with and without elastic bandaging had a positive effect on shoulder movement limitation and pain whereas it had no such effect on edema drainage.

Background: Falls in elderly age generate huge geriatric problems, especially, because of the consequences. External and internal factors lie among the causes of the falls. The outcomes are most frequently the orthopedic ones, such as, bone fractures, sprains in joint areas and injuries of various soft tissues. The second ones stem from the ageing process, existing diseases or/and pharmacotherapy side effects. The injuries cause serious mobility limitations and affect the independence in daily activities. Thus, constant motivation in elderly people, to rehabilitate and remain active, becomes most essential.Material and methods: The purpose of this study is to present the methodology of therapeutic massage (tensegrity) in the case of pain symptoms and mobility limitations in the arm joint after a fall. In the course of the research six 30-minute-massage sessions were performed twice a week.Results: After the therapy the decrease in pain in the shoulder girdle area and the upper extremity was achieved. The mobility of the shoulder and elbow joint was improved. Every day activities became easier.Conclusions: In the case of pain symptoms in connective tissues which occur after the falls a massage appears to be a good solution. When the pain becomes less troublesome, there is a possibility to continue physiotherapy in order to restore the patient’s mobility and independence. It allows him/her to come back to their hobbies and interests which improves the psychological condition as well and gives more motivation to further activity.

111 Background: Short- and long-term toxicity of platinum compounds and taxanes includes development of CIPN. With an increased interest regarding the role of complementary approaches for symptom control, we investigated massage therapy for symptomatic relief of chronic CIPN. Methods: This pilot study evaluated the optimum treatment schedule and initial efficacy of a standardized Swedish massage technique to treat lower extremity (LE) CIPN. Inclusion criteria: LE neuropathy attributed to oxaliplatin, paclitaxel, or docetaxel, no other history of attributable causes; self-reported neuropathy score ≥3, 0-10 scale; ≥ 6 months since last chemotherapy treatment; age ≥ 18. Patients (pts) were randomized to one of four groups: 1) LE massage 3 times (3X) week for 4 weeks; LE massage 2X week for 6 weeks; 3) head/neck/shoulder (control) massage 3X week for 4 weeks; or 4) control massage 2X week for 6 weeks. Massage completion rate was examined and symptoms of CIPN measured with the Pain Quality Assessment Scale [PQAS (Range: 0-10); subscales of SP (surface pain), DP (deep pain), and PP (paroxysmal pain)] at baseline and at 10 weeks. Results: 71 pts fulfilled inclusion criteria: 77.5% women; 57.7% (breast cancer), and 42.3% (GI cancer); mean age 60.3 y/o (range: 40-77). Average length of time since the end of chemotherapy was > 3 yrs. Mean massage completion rates (max = 12) were 8.9 (SD 4.2) for 3X week and 9.8 (4.0) for 2X week with no statistical differences. There were no statistically significant differences in PQAS scores at follow-up between site-specific massage groups (lower extremity vs controls). Pts who had massage 3X week reported statistically and clinically significantly improved PQAS scores versus those who had massage 2X week (change scores: PQAS-SP: -2.3 vs. -0.6, p = 0.001; PQAS-DP: -2.1 vs. -0.9, p = 0.008; PQAS-PP: -2.3 vs. -1.0, p = 0.025), with sustained improvement in the 3X week group, but minimal change in the 2X week group. Conclusions: We observed sustained reduction in pts with long-term CIPN up to 6 weeks after treatment completion for the more intensive 3X week massage group, regardless of treatment site. A large-scale efficacy trial is warranted to validate the role of oncology massage therapy for CIPN. Clinical trial information: NCT02221700.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: The chronic lumbar spine pain is one of the most common disorders reported by patients at family doctor’s visits. The symptoms associated with the problem usually include limited mobility of the trunk and the dysfunctions of peripheral nerves manifested by numbness, tingling and hyperesthesia. The pain potentiates the muscle tension which, secondarily, evokes general fatigue and the overexploitation of the tissues and, in consequence, the pain becomes even more intensive and unbearable. The treatment of the dysfunction differentiates two methods, namely, the conservative and the surgical one. The latter requires farther treatment in forms of the rehabilitation and physiotherapy which include various kinds of massage, selected physical procedures and physical exercises. Material and methods: The purpose of the study is to present some selected classical and therapeutic forms of massage of the back, arms and legs in women with the pain in the lower part of the spine. The procedures aim at the reduction of the symptoms through restoring the muscle tension and increasing the blood flow in the affected area. In the research eight 45-minute-long massage sessions were performed, each every three days. Results: After the therapy the decrease of pain in the shoulder girdle and lumbar spine area as well as the improvement in the patient’s posture were noticed. After the massage, when the pain was less disturbing the woman took up some exercises for seniors in the fitness centre and nordic walking.Conclusions: The massage is one on the forms of therapy, which can be used in chronic lumbar spine pain. It is often the only possible form of therapy, but can also be a part of more complex physiotherapy combined with other therapeutic treatments.

Although anti-neuropathic medications are available, there is increased interest by health care providers and patients (pts) regarding the role of complementary approaches for symptom control. Therefore, we explored the role of massage therapy for symptomatic relief of chronic CIPN. Methods: This pilot study evaluated the optimum treatment schedule and initial efficacy of two treatment schedules of a standardized Swedish massage technique to treat lower extremity (LE) CIPN.

Background: The aim of the study was to determine the efficacy of deep friction massage in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis by comparing outcomes with a control group treated with splinting and therapy and with an experimental group receiving a local steroid injection. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted to compare outcomes after recruitment of consecutive patients presenting with lateral epicondylitis. Patients were randomized to receive one of 3 treatments: group 1: splinting and stretching, group 2: a cortisone injection, or group 3: a lidocaine injection with deep friction massage. Pretreatment and posttreatment parameters of visual analog scale (VAS) pain ratings, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scores, and grip strength were measured. Results: Outcomes were measured at early follow-up (6-12 weeks) and at 6-month follow-up. There was a significant improvement in VAS pain score in all treatment groups at early follow-up. DASH score and grip strength improved in the cortisone injection group and the deep friction massage group at early follow-up; these parameters did not improve in the splinting and stretching group. At 6-month follow-up, only patients in the deep friction massage group demonstrated a significant improvement in all outcome measures, including VAS pain score, DASH score, and grip strength. Conclusions: Deep friction massage is an effective treatment for lateral epicondylitis and can be used in patients who have failed other nonoperative treatments, including cortisone injection.

AbstractAn abnormal motion of the scapula, or scapular dyskinesis (SD), can be effectively treated through conservative therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate a new specific exercise program to restore normal position. A standardized and specific exercise program was created. In a prospective multi-center approach, patients were randomized into two groups: one group received the specific exercise program over a period of six weeks and the controls received massage therapy. The visual-analog scale, QuickDASH score, SICK scapula rating scale, hand press-up position test, lateral scapular slide test and internal rotation of the shoulder were evaluated. Twenty-eight patients were included in the study: fifteen in the exercise group and thirteen in the control group. Pain levels on the visual analog scale (VAS) were significantly reduced in both groups (exercise p=0.007; control p=0.004). The scores for QuickDASH (p=0.001), SICK scapula rating scale (p=0.003) and hand press-up position test (p=0.026) were significantly improved in the exercise group only. Scapula-focused exercise programs, as well as massage therapy, can effectively relieve pain in patients with SD. However, scapula-focused exercises resulted, specifically, in greater improvement of shoulder function.

The article presents an assessment and analysis of mobility and pain threshold in the cervico thoracic spine in women 55-65 years of age undergoing preventive treatment with a diagnosis of osteochondrosis of the cervico thoracic spine. It was revealed that in the examined set of parameters of possible movements in the cervical spine, the most problematic positions are flexion and extension. Testing of the mobility of the cervico thoracic spine was performed on ten positions, the assessment of which revealed the need not only to restore painless movement in the cervico thoracic spine, but also to activate mobility in the shoulder joints. Since, as a result of age-related changes, in 90% of cases, the mobility in the shoulder joints decreases and, as a result, the variety of movements is limited. The paper considers the possibility of influencing the musculo-ligamentous apparatus of elderly women. Massage exercises are presented, with a detailed description of the technique and methodology for using the developed self-massage movements in an independent mode. The main purpose of which is to restore the mobility of the cervico thoracic spine, improve the elasticity of the muscles of the investigated spine and restore the normalization of blood and lymph circulation in the most important part of the spine.

Full textAbstract:
Chronic unspecific back pain (cBP) is often associated with depressive symptoms, negative body perception, and abnormal interoception. Given the general failure of surgery in cBP, treatment guidelines focus on conservative therapies. Neurophysiological evidence indicates that C-tactile fibers associated with the oxytonergic system can be activated by slow superficial stroking of the skin in the back, shoulder, neck, and dorsal limb areas. We hypothesize that, through recruitment of C-tactile fibers, psycho-regulatory massage therapy (PRMT) can reduce pain in patients with cBP. In our study, 66 patients were randomized to PRMT or CMT (classical massage therapy) over a 12-week period and tested by questionnaires regarding pain (HSAL= Hamburger Schmerz Adjektiv Liste; Hamburg Pain adjective list), depression (BDI-II = Beck depression inventory), and disability (ODI = Oswestry Disability Index). In all outcome measures, patients receiving PRMT improved significantly more than did those receiving CMT. The mean values of the HSAL sensory subscale decreased by −51.5% in the PRMT group compared to −6.7% in the CMT group. Depressive symptoms were reduced by −55.69% (PRMT) and −3.1% (CMT), respectively. The results suggest that the superiority of PRMT over CMT may rely on its ability to activate the C-tactile fibers of superficial skin layers, recruiting the oxytonergic system.

A 35-year-old Chinese man with no risk factors for stroke presented with a 2-day history of expressive dysphasia and a 1-day history of right-sided weakness. The presentation was preceded by multiple sessions of neck, shoulder girdle and upper back massage for pain relief in the prior 2 weeks. CT of the brain demonstrated an acute left middle cerebral artery infarct and left internal carotid artery dissection. MRI cerebral angiogram confirmed left carotid arterial dissection and intimal oedema of bilateral vertebral arteries. In the absence of other vascular comorbidities and risk factors, massage-induced internal carotid arterial dissection will most likely precipitate the near-fatal cerebrovascular event. The differential diagnosis of stroke in a younger population was consequently reviewed and discussed.

Upper cross syndrome (UCS) is a condition caused from prolonged poor posture manifesting as thoracic hyperkyphosis with forward head and shoulder postures. It has been associated with several other secondary conditions, causing pain and discomfort to those with the condition. This is a case report of a 35-year-old female presenting to clinic with a sharp pain in the neck, upper back, and sternum area for 4 weeks and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). She had been working at home for several months after the shelter at home order was issued. Following evaluation and corrective treatment with cervical adjustment and soft tissue massage, the patient’s posture improved and reported full pain resolution. Her symptoms of GERD concurrently resolved as well. She continued to receive chiropractic adjustment two times per month for correcting spinal misalignment. Full restoration of posture was attained on the full spine radiographs at 9 months follow-up. The patient remained symptom-free at 12 months follow-up. Manipulative and preventive therapies aimed at treating and preventing UCS should be more widely adopted to prevent secondary conditions.

To test the hypothesis that, comparison of the effectiveness of one-session application of two physiotherapy methods. The other aim is to investigation the relationship between physical activity and pain, muscle relaxation. Method: This study was designed randomized trial and double blind. Participants (with neck pain) divided into two groups (Classical Massage (CM), n=24 and Active Stretching, n=21) Pain were determined by the visual analog scale (VAS), a digital pressure algometer was used to assess pain threshold (PT) level and muscle relaxation response was measured by means of electromyography biofeedback (EMG_BF). Physical activity was determined by the physical activity assessment questionnaire (PAAQ). Results: Only the EMG values on the right SCM muscles of the CM group was found significantly higher than stretching group (p=0.003). The relationship between EMG-BF, PT values and PAAQ was examined. Conclusions: Self-stretching is more effective than CM in providing muscle relaxation. Physical activities (especially steps, sitting at home working and school activities) particularly affect neck pain and SCM muscle.

Background: Pain has been regarded as important in the improvement of quality of life (QOL). In the advanced countries of Europe and the North America, a number of large-scale epidemiological surveys on pain, particularly chronic pain, have thus been performed in general populations. However, few epidemiological surveys of chronic pain have been reported from developing countries, and no surveys appear to have examined chronic pain in the least developed countries. Objectives: To compare the incidence of chronic pain in Asian countries, using Japan as an advanced country, Thailand as a developing country, and Myanmar as one of the least developed countries. Study Design: Cross-sectional study in 4 hospitals. Setting: A university hospital and a general hospital in Japan, a university hospital in Thailand, and a general hospital in Myanmar. Methods: Patients were 1,000 nursing staff working in Japan, 448 nursing staff working in Thailand, and 405 nursing staff working in Myanmar. The survey was performed by requesting all nursing staff to anonymously answer the questionnaire. Data were used to calculate chronic pain prevalence, pain site, presence or absence of consultation with doctors, methods of handling pain other than consultation with doctors, and whether pain was controlled for each country. The results were then compared between countries. Results: The prevalence of chronic pain in Myanmar was 5.9%, which was significantly lower (P < 0.01) than in Japan (17.5%) or Thailand (19.9%). The most frequent pain sites were the lower back, head, and shoulders in Japan, and the shoulders, ankle, upper back, and head in Thailand, whereas in Myanmar, no clear certain tendencies were observed. The most frequent method for handling pain other than consultation with doctors was over-the-counter drugs in Japan, massage in Thailand, and relaxation therapy (meditation) in Myanmar. Limitations: Limitations of this study were the cross-sectional design study, the small number of hospitals included, the limitation of patients to nursing staff, and the omission from the questionnaire of questions regarding body height and weight, working situation, family background, trauma history, sports activity history, smoking history, psychological/character tests, QOL, and pain levels of patients. Conclusion: The prevalence of chronic pain was significantly lower in Myanmar than in Japan or Thailand. With regard to the site and treatment of chronic pain, no clear tendencies were observed between countries, suggesting that frequency and the character of chronic pain differ from county to country around the world. Key words: Chronic pain, epidemiology, prevalence, low back pain, shoulder pain, ankle pain, headache, developing countries, least developed countries

Subjects were divided into two groups: the aromatherapy massage (treatment) group () and the acetaminophen (control) group (). Aromatherapy massage was performed on subjects in the treatment group. The abdomen was massaged once using clary sage, marjoram, cinnamon, ginger, and geranium in a base of almond oil. The level of menstrual pain was assessed using a visual analogue scale at baseline and twenty-four hours afterward. The reduction of menstrual pain was significantly higher in the aromatherapy group than in the acetaminophen group. Using multiple regression, aromatherapy massage was found to be more highly associated with reduction in the level of menstrual pain than acetaminophen. These finding suggest that aromatherapy massage may be an effective treatment for menstrual pain in high school girls. However, it could not be verified whether the positive effects derived from the aromatherapy, the massage, or both. Further rigorous studies should be conducted using more objective measures.

Managing labour pain is a challenging concern for nurses who involved in care of mothers during labour and child birth. Massage is a primordial method that has been generally employed during labour, however, relatively little study has been assumed examining the effects of massage on women during labour. The study insistent pain allied with labour may negatively impact mother further transforming to foetus, frequently varying the childbirth course. The techniques of health care humanisation mention that women in labour should have the chance to relieve their pain with pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. The systemic review examines literature on effectiveness of back massage to relieve labour pain from 2013 to 2019. The electronic database reviewed for the systemic review included PubMed, Medline, nursing health journal, Google scholar etc by including relevant key words. Ten studies were included in the systemic review. The available literature on non-pharmacological method provides evidence as a back massage is effective to reduce labour pain. The aim of the present review is to examine the effect of back massage as a method to relieve labour pain and give comfort to mother. The experience of labour pain is different in women and it is affected by several psychological and physiological factors and its intensity may vary significantly. During labour majority of women need pain relief. Strategies of pain management include pharmacological and non-pharmacological intervention. Evidence suggests that non pharmacological methods are helpful to reduce labour pain. We identified 10 reviews out of 110 for inclusion within this review. All studies on back massages show that it is effective to relieve pain during labour.

<br/><b>Introduction:</b> Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women in the Polish region. Surgery is a basic method of breast cancer treatment. Surgery often carries a lot of unwanted changes as follows: limitation of mobility in the shoulder joint on the operated side, secondary lymphoedema, post mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS), reduction of muscle strength or disorders in body posture. Therefore, the implementation of physiotherapeutic activities that are designed to prevent and eliminate postoperative complications seems very important. The main aim of this work was to present physiotherapeutic management in women after mastectomy based on the analysis of available literature. The physiotherapeutic process can be divided into three periods: early hospital, early ambulatory and the late ambulatory period. In the first period, active slow exercises, self-support of the upper limb on the operated side and breathing exercises on the thoracic track are used to prevent circulatory disorders, pulmonary complications, and edema. The early ambulatory period includes corrective exercises, general improvement exercises, stretching and learning of automatic massage of the upper limb of the operated side. The last period should be enriched by recreational methods of physical activity such as swimming, cycling or Nordic walking to maintain physical fitness, proper mobility of the shoulder girdle and improve the patient's psychophysical state. It is very important the patient regular continues the rehabilitation program after curing of breast cancer as well. In the case of secondary lymphoedema of the upper limb, comprehensive rehabilitation physiotherapy is used, consisting of manual lymphatic drainage, healing exercises, compression therapy, and skin care. <br/><b>Conclusions:</b> Physiotherapy in women after breast cancer surgery is a complex and long-term process. Physiotherapeutic methods are effective in treating complications after surgery of breast cancer surgery. It is necessary to constantly update the physio-therapy knowledge in women after breast cancer surgery.

Relevance. Fractures of the distal metaepiphysis of the radial bone among all fractures range from 11% to 30%. Unsatisfactory results of treatment in patients over 70 years old are found in 44% of cases. Timely and adequate rehabilitation treatment is important for obtaining good results in the treatment of such patients.
Objective: to improve the results of the treatment of patients with fractures of the distal metaepiphysis of the radial bone based on early comprehensive individual rehabilitation treatment.
Materials and methods. 97 patients with displaced fractures of the distal metaepiphysis of the radius were observed. Among them, 67 are women (69.1%), over 50 years old – 64 (66%). Used conservative treatment with a sparing technique of one-stage reduction. Upon completion of the correction, according to the indications, measures were prescribed for the prevention of neurodystrophic syndrome, depending on the likelihood of its development (according to the temperature gradient of the fingers of the extremities) in the form of drug therapy. Massage, kinesiotherapy, and physiotherapy began on the second day. The pain intensity was determined using a visual analog scale. The nature of pain was determined by the DN4 questionnaire (questionnaire for the diagnosis of neuropathic pain). For subjective unified assessment of hand function in the long term after a hand injury, I used a specific questionnaire DASH (Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Outcome Measure) – a questionnaire of outcomes and disability of the hand and hand.
Results. Rehabilitation treatment at admission and at the early outpatient stage was complex, individual, taking into account the periods of illness. The debris correction was painless, low-traumatic, rational fixing bandages were used. The volume of drug therapy was determined by the value of the temperature gradient of the fingers.
Conclusion. The proposed method for the rehabilitation of patients with fractures of the distal metaepiphysis of the radius is highly effective: good and satisfactory (according to the DASH scale) results were obtained in 97.8% of cases, unsatisfactory – in 2.2%.

Aims: to study the effectiveness of kinesiotherapy in medical rehabilitation of patients with isolated fractures of the forearm bones. Material and methods. The study was conducted in 44 patients aged 19-85 years with isolated fractures of the forearm bones, who underwent surgical treatment with osteosynthesis. In the control group (n=21), a standard course of medical rehabilitation was conducted in the postoperative period, which included massage, physiotherapy exercises and magnetotherapy. In the main group (n=23), in the postoperative period, the kinesiotherapy of the shoulder and forearm was performed against the background of a standard course of medical rehabilitation. Kinesio tapes were used on the 2nd day after the operation and applied for 72 hours, after which they were changed to new ones. The duration of the study was 12 months. The severity of the pain syndrome, the amplitude of the movement of the wrist joint and the rotational movements of the forearm, the strength of the fist grasp, the function of the upper limb, the quality of life of the patients were evaluated. Results. The use of kinesiotherapy in the period from 1 month after the operation significantly reduced the subjective severity of the pain syndrome by an average of 22.7%, reduced the number of patients with persistent edema by 1.75 times and increased the number of patients without edema by 2.3 times compared with application of a standard course of medical rehabilitation. The parameters of the amplitude of motion in the wrist joint, rotational movements, and the dynamometry of the fist grasp in patients of the main group were slightly higher than those in the control group throughout the observation period. In the long-term period, the number of patients with excellent treatment outcomes in the main group was 1.5 times higher than in the control group, the number of patients with satisfactory results was 1.3 times lower than in the control group. Conclusions. Kinesiotherapy is a promising, simple, non-traumatic method with no side effects and complications, allows to significantly reduce the severity of the pain syndrome, improve the quality of life of patients, contribute to earlier relief of postoperative edema and the most complete restoration of clinical and functional parameters of the wrist joint and can be used as one of the methods in the complex rehabilitation of patients with isolated fractures of the forearm bones.

Background: Regardless of the sport discipline, the rules of prophylaxis, coaching methods and experience, injuries and contusions in athletes occur. They are inevitable, and when they eventually appear, a comprehensive therapy should be applied to avoid complications and further injuries.Material and methods: A female runner was given a classical massage, before and after the training session each of 10 minutes and, additionally, two sessions of 45-minute-tensegrity massage. Two diferent confgurations were worked out (I and II) because only selected connective tissues were intensively sensitive to compression. Results: After the classical massage the decrease in pain of fbular muscles (peroneus longus and brevis) was achieved, however, after the tensegrity massage the reduction of pain in inguinale ligaments was additionally observed. The massage of the tissues being in direct and indirect contact with the injured area resulted in complete pain elimination.Conclusions: Tensegrity massage can be used in the cases of connective tissue injuries and other mild injuries which are found in athletes. The choice of the type of the massage always depends on current symptoms and needs of the athletes. The therapy ought to be completed with the education on the preventive activities which athletes should follow. Keywords: classical and tensegrity massage, injury, pain

Purpose. Aromatherapy massage is an alternative treatment in reducing the pain of the cancer patients. This study was to investigate whether aromatherapy massage could improve the pain of the cancer patients.Methods. We searched PubMed and Cochrane Library for relevant randomized controlled trials without language limitations between 1 January 1990 and 31 July 2015 with a priori defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The search terms included aromatherapy, essential oil, pain, ache, cancer, tumor, and carcinoma. There were 7 studies which met the selection criteria and 3 studies were eventually included among 63 eligible publications.Results. This meta-analysis included three randomized controlled trials with a total of 278 participants (135 participants in the massage with essential oil group and 143 participants in the control (usual care) group). Compared with the control group, the massage with essential oil group had nonsignificant effect on reducing the pain (standardized mean difference = 0.01; 95% CI[-0.23,0.24]).Conclusion. Aromatherapy massage does not appear to reduce pain of the cancer patients. Further rigorous studies should be conducted with more objective measures.

Hasil analisis menunjukkan ada hubungan yang signifikan pemberian masase klasik dengan penurunan intesitas nyeri (p-value 0,000). Diskusi: Pemberian masase klasik merangsang pengeluaran hormon endorfin yaitu hormon yang merupakan penekan atau penghilang rasa nyeri alami sehingga menurunkan intensitas nyeri. Kesimpulan: perlunya menciptakan rasa aman dan nyaman bagi pasien kanker payudara selama menjalani kemoterapi, salah satunya dengan pemberian masase klasik. Bagi pihak rumah sakit dapat membuat kebijakan dimana pada pasien kanker payudara sebelum mendapatkan obat penghilang nyeri dilakukan tindakan masase klasik untuk mengurangi efek samping zat kimia jika obat penghilang nyeri tersebut diminum terus menerus.Kata Kunci: kanker payudara, masase klasik, nyeri. Reducing Pain Intensity with Classical Massage in Women with Breast Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy ABSTRACTBreast cancer makes clients uncomfortable, due to which they will experience moderate or continuous pain. As a result, quality and productivity of their life decline. Objective: This research aims to reveal the effect of classical massage on pain intensity in female clients with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. Methods: It employed a quantitative research design using a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest and posttest without control approach. It involved a sample of 26 people. The intervention was given in the form of classical massage on the upper back area, shoulders, both hands to the back of the hand. The classic massage was performed for 10-15 minutes. The instrument used a Numeric Rating Scale. Data were analyzed using statistical paired T test with a significance level of 0.05 and a 95% confidence level. Results: Most of the respondents experienced severe pain (73.1%). After the intervention was given, pain intensity decreased to a moderate pain (88.5%). The results of the analysis indicated that there was a significant correlation between classical massage and a decrease in pain intensity (p-value 0.000). Discussion: Giving classical massage stimulates the release of endorphins, hormones for natural pain suppressants or pain relievers, which then reduce pain intensity. Conclusion: It is necessary to create a sense of security and comfort for breast cancer patients during chemotherapy, one of which is by giving classical massage. The hospital can make a policy that breast cancer patients should receive classical massage before getting painkillers to reduce the side effects of chemicals if the painkillers are taken continuously.Keywords: breast cancer, classical massage, pain.

Background: The spine pain syndrome is a common problem in a substantial part of the population which currently affects younger and younger people. The underlying risk factors include the character of work, sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity. Except for complex physiotherapy which should be applied during treatment, a lifestyle prophylaxis also seems to be a key factor. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to present the possibility to use the classical and therapeutic massage of the back, and a lymphatic drainage of lower limbs in case of the lumbar and cervical spine pain syndrome accompaniedby the lower limb swelling. Material and methods: A young woman with the lumbar and cervical spine pain syndrome received a 55-minute lymphatic drainage (four sessions), a 30-minute classical massage (four sessions) and a 45-minute therapeutic massage (two sessions). All the procedures were performed every two days. Results: After the application of all kinds of the massage, selected individually to current symptoms and needs of the patient, the pain in the area of the spine was relieved. After the therapy the pressure pain in the back muscles such as: latissimus dorsi (lats), trapezius (traps) and spinal erectors was also decreased. The swelling in the area of the lower limb was reduced and the patient reported general decrease of pain. Conclusions: A massage may constitute an effective anti-pain therapy in case of the lumbar and cervical spine pain syndrome. Combined with educating patients about proper motor habits might prevent similar pain symptoms in the future.

Due to the occurrence among musicians of musculoskeletal problems associated with playing a musical instrument, it is necessary to use prophylaxis. The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of two physioprophylaxis methods: chair massage and an original set of exercises. The study lasted four weeks and consisted of eight 15-min meetings (chair massage/exercises). The study was conducted on 44 music students assigned to three groups (chair massage/exercise program/control group). The algometric measurements and questionnaire were conducted. Health problems associated with playing an instrument was reported by 86.4% of the participants. The largest changes in pain threshold concerned the trigger points of the muscles with the highest pain sensitivity, i.e., upper part of trapezius ones, and reached 25–34% in relation to the initial values. For the trigger points of the levator scapulae and lower part of trapezius, the increase in the pain threshold was between 20 and 28%. Raising the pain threshold was observed both after each session and meeting by meeting, and these differences were most visible in the massage group. This effect was particularly visible from the fourth treatment. Chair massage and exercise should be used regularly, and significant results can be obtained after two weeks.
