Summary

This study looks at whether therapeutic touch—a gentle, non-invasive therapy—can help reduce agitation, pain, and stress hormone levels in intensive care patients. About 60 adults who are awake and stable in the ICU will either receive this touch therapy or standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, drug-free approach can improve comfort and recovery.
