Can a foot rub with essential oils calm ICU confusion?
NCT ID NCT04529395
Summary
This study tested whether aromatherapy could prevent delirium, a state of severe confusion, in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Researchers gave 161 patients on breathing machines either a foot massage with a blend of essential oils or a plain oil. They checked if the scented oils reduced how often and how long patients experienced delirium during their ICU stay.
