补充疗法越来越多地用于减少癌症治疗的副作用，但没有证据证明其有效性。在一项随机、前瞻性、2阶段、交叉干预研究中，作者在230名受试者中测试了治疗性按摩（MT）和愈合触摸（HT）与单独存在或标准护理相比在诱导放松和减轻症状方面的效果。MT和HT降低血压、呼吸频率（RR）和心率（HR）。MT降低了焦虑，HT降低了疲劳，两者都降低了总的情绪障碍。MT和HT后疼痛评分较低，MT期间使用4周非甾体类药物较少。对恶心无影响。存在降低RR和HR，但在疼痛、恶心、情绪状态、焦虑或疲劳的任何测量方面与标准护理没有差异。MT和HT在减轻接受癌症化疗的患者的疼痛、情绪障碍和疲劳方面比单独或标准护理更有效。
Complementary therapies are increasingly used to reduce side effects of cancer treatment, without evidence for their effectiveness. In a randomized, prospective, 2-period, crossover intervention study, the authors tested the effects of therapeutic massage (MT) and healing touch (HT), in comparison to presence alone or standard care, in inducing relaxation and reducing symptoms in 230 subjects. MT and HT lowered blood pressure, respiratory rate (RR), and heart rate (HR). MT lowered anxiety and HT lowered fatigue, and both lowered total mood disturbance. Pain ratings were lower after MT and HT, with 4-week nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug use less during MT. There were no effects on nausea. Presence reduced RR and HR but did not differ from standard care on any measure of pain, nausea, mood states, anxiety, or fatigue. MT and HT are more effective than presence alone or standard care in reducing pain, mood disturbance, and fatigue in patients receiving cancer chemotherapy.
