Summary
This study looked at whether therapeutic touch—a gentle, non-invasive technique—can help people aged 65 to 85 who are in the hospital sleep better and feel less anxious. Researchers compared a group that received therapeutic touch to a control group. The goal was to see if this simple approach could improve well-being without medication.
