Summary

This study looked at whether gentle arm massage with special oils (sesame or sesame-lavender) could reduce acute arm pain and anxiety in 90 women who had a mastectomy. Participants were split into three groups: one received massage with sesame oil, one with a sesame-lavender mix, and one with plain paraffin oil. The goal was to see if the scented oils offered extra relief compared to the plain oil.
