“…The review of the literature made it possible to conclude that abdominal massage is a form of therapy which is successfully applied in preventing constipation in elderly individuals as well as in patients with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injuries. The latest research in this field indicated its effectiveness in treating chemotherapy-induced constipation in patients with breast cancer [33]. Moreover, attempts were made at implementing abdominal massage as a method of preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia in enterally-fed patients of intensive care unit [34].…”

“…Różna jest także częstotliwość i czas trwania poszczególnych zabiegów, np. : 1 min/10x dzień -pacjenci poddani chemioterapii w przebiegu leczenia nowotworu piersi [33], 10 min/1x dzień -osoby z chorobą Parkinsona [37], 15 min/2x dzień -pacjenci mechanicznie wentylowani [34]. Trudno jest jednoznacznie stwierdzić, jak długo należałoby aplikować masaż u pensjonariuszy hospicjum, aby uzyskać pożądane rezultaty.…”

“…Moreover, the frequency and duration of particular procedures vary, e.g. 1 min./10 times a day -patients with breast cancer after chemotherapy [33], 10 min./ once a day -patients with Parkinson's disease [37], 15 min./twice a day -mechanically ventilated patients [34]. It is hard to conclude unanimously how long it would be necessary to massage palliative care patients in order to achieve the desired effects.…”

“…Dokonany przegląd literatury pozwolił określić, iż masaż gastryczny jest formą terapii z powodzeniem stosowaną w przeciwdziałaniu zaparciom u osób starszych, pacjentów z SM, chorobą Parkinsona i URK. Najnowsze badania z tego zakresu wskazują na jego skuteczność w zwalczaniu zaparć wywołanych chemioterapią u osób z nowotworem piersi [33]. Znane są również próby wdrażania subjective feelings connected with defecating were collected.…”

Introduction: The problem of constipation in Poland concerns 13.4% of the healthy population. In the case of patients treated with opioids, this number increases to 70-90%, which constitutes a serious problem that lowers the patients’ quality of life. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of abdominal massage, which successfully reduces constipation in various diseases, on palliative care patients. Material and methods: The research included 18 patients of a palliative care facility (mean age 78.3 ± 10 years), 11 of whom completed the study. The study participants were randomly divided into two groups, i.e. a pilot group (abdominal massage and kinesiotherapy) and a control group (kinesiotherapy). The therapy lasted 8 weeks and blind evaluation was carried out once per week. The study involved evaluating constipation intensity (The Bowel Function Index), the frequency of defecation (medical documentation) and abdomen circumference (anthropometric tape). The collected data were analysed statistically with the use of Statistica software. Results: The observed differences between the studied groups undergoing different therapies in subsequent weeks were not statistically significant. However, in the group in which abdominal massage was implemented, a decrease in the intensity of constipation, an increase in the frequency of defecation and a reduction in abdomen circumference were noted compared to the control group. The patients also indicated additional positive effects of this form of therapy, i.e. an improvement in breathing, easier urination, release of excessive gas and abdominal pain reduction. Conclusions: The collected data led to the conclusion that abdominal massage may result in a decrease in disorders accompanying opioid-induced constipation. Therefore, it is worth considering the implementation of this form of therapy in the case of patients in an advanced stage of cancer. There is also a need for further research in this field which will include a larger number of patients.

“…El masaje comprende diversas técnicas por las cuales un terapeuta mueve, presiona, frota o estira músculos y otros tejidos conectivos en la paciente a un ritmo regular, con varios niveles de presión. 50 Implica una exposición pasiva de la paciente hacia los estímulos que el terapeuta aplica sobre ella y menor actividad física en comparación con el ejercicio, aunque puede haber también una auto aplicación. 51 No es recomendable en pacientes con linfedemas severos o deshidratación.…”

Objetivo. Describir y discutir los resultados de las intervenciones no farmacológicas (INF) adyuvantes en el tratamiento de los síntomas depresivos entre mujeres con cáncer de mama (CaMa). Material y métodos. Se realizó una revisión sistemática sobre INF, aplicadas a pacientes con cáncer y síntomas depresivos en siete bases de datos. La revisión se limitó del 1 de enero de 2006 al 31 de diciembre de 2017 y a los idiomas inglés, español y portugués. Los descriptores médicos empleados fueron “breast neoplasm” y “depression”. Resultados. Existen diversas INF que pueden estimular principalmente las dimensiones físicas o psicosociales. En este artículo se propone una clasificación basada en nueve estrategias terapéuticas identificadas, entre las que sobresalen el ejercicio, la psicoterapia y el yoga con meditación. Conclusiones. Con base en la evidencia disponible, se concluye que la psicoterapia y yoga con meditación reducen los síntomas depresivos en pacientes con CaMa. Se requiere mayor investigación para determinar la magnitud de la reducción de los síntomas depresivos, de acuerdo con su gravedad, presencia de comorbilidades y diversidad de INF.

Background and AimThe aim of this study is to compare the effects of osteopathic manipulative therapy home program (OMT‐H) versus abdominal massage home program (AMHP) in treating constipation in children with cerebral palsy (CP).MethodsTwenty‐nine children with CP with a mean age of 12.2 ± 3.76 years, who were constipated and were not on medication, were divided into three randomized groups: (i) control group (n = 10), (ii) AMHP (n = 10), and (iii) OMT‐H (n = 9). In AMHP and OMT‐H groups, treatment was applied as 20‐min sessions every other day for 10 sessions for 3 weeks. Modified Constipation Assessment Scale (MCAS), Rome III criteria, and the Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) were used for evaluation before treatment and once a week during treatment.ResultsWhile there was no change in constipation symptoms in the control group, there was an improvement in constipation symptoms after treatment in the AMHP and OMT‐H groups (AMHP, P = 0.003; OMT‐H, P = 0.000014). While the treatment showed to be effective from the first week in the OMT‐H group, the change in BSFS (P = 0.026) and MCAS sub‐parameters was found to be superior.ConclusionAMHP and OMT‐H are effective and beneficial in treating constipation. In children with CP, OMT‐H was found to be quicker and more successful compared with AMHP. The OMT‐H can be effectively used in clinical practice in relieving constipation in CP.
