Back rubs tested to soothe heart surgery patients

NCT ID NCT06529471

Summary

This study tested whether giving back massages to patients after open-heart surgery could help them feel better. Researchers wanted to see if massage could reduce pain, improve sleep quality, and lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. They compared 96 patients who received massage to those who received standard care alone.
