简要总结
This is a pilot study to evaluate the impact of massage therapy in hospice patients.
详细描述
As an integrative therapy, there is growing evidence that massage therapy can be an effective therapeutic tool for relief of pain and non-pain symptoms in hospice and palliative care patients. Massage therapy can provide comfort, relaxation, and improve quality of life for patients. The primary aim of the study is to gather data on the effects of complementary massage therapy on patient's symptoms and quality of life. The study goal is to improve patient symptoms of pain, anxiety, depression, and quality of life through the use of massage therapy provided to hospice patients. Questionnaires would be utilized before and after each massage intervention and would quantify symptom and quality of life levels.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Edmonton Symptom Assessment System - Revised
时间窗: Baseline to 3 weeks
The primary endpoints are patient pain, depression, anxiety and wellbeing as measured by ESAS-r. Pro-rated area under the curve (AUC) statistics will be calculated for all individual items and total scores. The pro-rated AUC for ESAS-r measured pain, depression, anxiety, and wellbeing will all be utilized individually to assess the primary endpoint. The pro-rated AUC will be compared to the assessment score prior to any massage therapy. If there is any improvement, the massage therapy will be considered a success since any improvement will be seen as beneficial.
