Summary

This study tested whether reflexology or classical hand massage can reduce pain, anxiety, and improve vital signs in 70 patients who had coronary angiography. Participants received one of the two massage types, and their pain and anxiety levels were measured. The goal is to see if these simple, non-drug techniques can help patients feel better after the procedure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
hand massage (reflexology and classical)
What this could lead to
If effective, these massage techniques could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease pain and anxiety after heart procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The effects may be modest or no better than standard care.
