Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Application of six massage sessions, twice a week, with a 15-minute period each session, there was a statistically significant reduction, with p-value less than 0.0001 by the list of stress signs and symptoms, as well as salivary cortisol analysis, demonstrated by AUC (area under the curve, showing daily cortisol secretion values) showed p-value of 0.002. By Cohen's d-test, the effect size was 1.21 (means a very large effect). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Sleep: Improvement of sleep quality, assessed before and after in the groups, with a significance level of 5%, determined by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and urinary melatonin (6-6-sulfatoxymelatonin) analysis.;Pain: Reduction of the impact of pain on components of the Brief Pain Index, evaluated before and after in the groups, with significance level of 5%.;Outcome sleep. Among the seven sleep assessment components determined by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the total value, there was a statistically significant difference by the analysis of mixed effects between groups for sleep latency (p less than 0.001) and the total score (p equal 0.009). There was no statistically significant difference in 6-6-sulfatoxymelatonin values.;Outcome pain. There was a statitically significant difference in the components of the Brief Pain Index: general activity and work with p value less than 0.001 and mood and sleep with p value less than 0.05. | — |
