Massage tested as new hope for septic shock recovery

NCT ID NCT05874895

Summary

This small, completed pilot study tested whether a gentle massage technique called manual lymphatic drainage is safe and practical for patients recovering from septic shock. The goal was to see if stimulating the body's fluid drainage system could help reduce swelling and improve organ function after the initial infection is treated. Researchers enrolled 24 adult ICU patients to compare standard care with or without the added massage therapy.
