Summary

This study looks at whether shiatsu, a type of Japanese bodywork, can improve symptoms and quality of life in people with cardiac amyloidosis, a serious heart condition. Researchers will compare targeted shiatsu to comfort-focused shiatsu and no shiatsu in 108 adults. They will measure changes in symptoms like fatigue, pain, anxiety, and sleep problems over several weeks.
