Healing hands in the ICU: can touch ease pain and improve sleep?
NCT ID NCT07404904
Summary
This study tested whether adding therapeutic touch to standard care could help patients in surgical intensive care. Researchers worked with 80 patients to see if this gentle, hands-on approach could reduce pain and delirium while improving sleep quality and vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either standard care alone or standard care plus therapeutic touch sessions over three days.
