First seen Apr 07, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a back massage with mentholated ointment (like Vicks) can lower pain and anxiety in people who just had coronary bypass surgery. About 120 adults will be split into three groups: one gets the menthol massage, another gets a plain oil massage, and the third gets standard care. Researchers will measure pain and anxiety levels before and after the massages to see if the menthol ointment offers extra relief.
