Can a massage or a chat change your Body's chemistry? duke study investigates

NCT ID NCT06987786

Summary

This study aims to understand how two different therapies—hands-on massage and talk-based therapy—affect the body's stress and bonding hormones in people with long-term back or neck pain. Researchers will measure hormone levels and ask participants about their pain and mood to see if there's a connection between the therapy, the patient-provider relationship, and these biological changes. The goal is to learn more about how these treatments might work, not to provide a cure.
