NCT ID NCT07061340
First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study looks at whether therapeutic touch—a gentle, non-invasive technique—can help intensive care patients feel less agitated and have less pain. Researchers will also measure stress hormone (cortisol) levels. Sixty adult ICU patients will be randomly assigned to receive either therapeutic touch or standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, drug-free approach can improve comfort and reduce stress in a high-tech hospital setting.
