Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Treated with Massage Combined with Aromatic Therapy in 34 Cases: A Randomized Controlled Study
Obejective To investigate and compare the clinical efficacy of aroma massage with traditional massage in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
Methods
2
Seventy-two CFS patients were randomized into the aroma massage group and the traditional massage group, with 36 patients in each group. Both groups were treated with essential oil aromatherapy and massage were performed on the head, face, and abdomen stimultaneously. The aroma massage group used antifatigue oil, while the traditional massage group used placebo essential oil. The two groups were treated for 30 minutes each time, once every other day, three times a week, for a total of 4 weeks. The fatigue scale (FS-14) score, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score and patient satisfaction evaluation scale score before and after the treatment of the two groups were assessed to study the improvement of fatigue and other clinical symptoms of the patients as well as the changes of the TCM symptom scores, and to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the two groups.
Results
2
With three drop-outs in the traditional massage group and two drop-outs in the aroma massage group, 33 cases in the traditional massage group and 34 cases in the aroma massage group were included in the outcome analysis. The FS-14 scores and TCM syndrome scores significantly decreased after treatment in both groups (
P
<0.01); compare
d to those in the traditional massage group (FS-14: 4.42±2.44; TCM syndrome score: 34.12±7.67), the FS-14 score (3.06±2.37) and TCM syndrome score (28.79±5.62) in the aroma massage group were significantly lower (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). There was no significant difference in the satisfaction scores of the patients in the two groups after the treatment (
P
>0.05). The total effective rate of the aroma massage group was 94.12% (32/34), which was significantly higher than 84.85% (28/33) of the traditional massage group (
P
<0.05).
Conclusion
2
Both aromatherapy and traditional massage can improve the clinical symptoms of fatigue in CFS patients, and aromatherapy is more effective, which is easy to operate with high patient acceptance.
