Summary
This study looks at whether a back massage with mentholated ointment (like Vicks) can lower pain and anxiety in people who just had coronary bypass surgery. 120 adults will be split into three groups: one gets a back massage with mentholated ointment, one gets a back massage with plain oil, and one gets standard care. Pain and anxiety levels will be measured before and after each massage session.
