Can a simple touch calm ICU patients?

NCT ID NCT07061340

Summary

This study will test whether therapeutic touch—a gentle, hands-on complementary therapy—can help reduce agitation, pain, and stress hormone levels in patients staying in the intensive care unit (ICU). Researchers will compare 60 ICU patients, with half receiving the touch therapy and half receiving usual care. They will measure changes in agitation, pain scores, and cortisol (a stress hormone) levels over time.
