Abstract

Introduction: Today, in many countries, the massage is used as a complementary therapy to reduce stress. In this study we evaluate the effect of reflexologic massage in comparison with stroke massage on physiological parameters of myocardial infarction patients.

Materials and Methods: This clinical trial was performed in 2012 on 105 patients who were randomly divided into three groups: reflexologic massage, stroke massage and control groups (each group with 35 patients). In the intervention groups each patient took massages for 15 minutes in morning and afternoon in one day. Vital signs and arterial O2 saturation were measured before and after the massage by blood pressure cuff, thermometer, and pulse oxymeter. Paired T test and χ2 test were used to analyze data

Results: in stroke massage group, significant differentiation evaluated in oxygen saturation and with (p =0.002) in morning and afternoon in a day. No significant differences in blood oxygen saturation were seen in both reflexive massage group and control group.

Conclusion: stroke massages is effective on blood oxygen saturation and it’s so helpful for this patients.
