Abstract:Objective To analyze in the scientific literature the effects of massage on pain relief in newborns submitted to puncture. Method Systematic review with meta-analysis performed in October 2020, using PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane and Gale databases. Studies without time frame were included, which used massage as the main technique for relieving neonatal pain during puncture. Data were extracted using standardized forms and the synthesis of results occurred in a descriptive way. Results Fro… Show more
“…Untreated pain has repercussions for the neonates in terms of physiological and metabolic changes, as directly influences the sympathetic nervous system and, consequently, affects systems such as the cardiovascular and respiratory. Therefore, it is essential to observe physiological parameters such as heart rate, breathing rate, oxygen saturation and blood pressure to detect possible changes resulting from pain (32) the present study clarified that there were no statistically significant differences between the study and control groups in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate on the first day of massage therapy. Although there were statistically significant differences between the study and control groups in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate on the seventh day of massage (table 3).…”
The prevalence of moderate to severe postoperative pain in the pediatric population was high. The presence of pain adversely affected long-term health-related quality of life after pediatric cardiac surgery. Massage therapy has been tested in various populations and found to be remarkably effective in relieving pain. This treatment includes noninvasive techniques that are cheaper, easier, and have fewer side effects than drugs. Aim: The study was aimed to evaluate the effect of massage therapy on post-operative pain and narcotic administration for infants with congenital heart disease. Subjects and Methods: A quasi-experimental research. Subjects: It was employed on a purposive sample of 76 infants undergoing cardiothoracic surgery in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit and Cardiothoracic ward. Setting: Mansoura University Children's Hospital (MUCH), Mansoura, Egypt. Three tools were used: Infant's bio-sociodemographic characteristic and clinical data, physiological measurement and FLACC behavioral pain assessment scale. Results: There was a highly statistically significant difference between the mean pain scores and narcotic doses within the study and control group. Conclusion: The study concluded that, massage therapy positively reduces pain and narcotic doses in postoperative infants with congenital heart disease. Recommendations: Massage therapy training programs and seminars should be held periodically and regularly for pediatric nurses to increase awareness of the benefits of massage therapy for infants with congenital heart disease.
