“…This may be due to abdominal massage improve defecation through stimulation of parasympathetic nervous system which reducing abdominal muscle tension and relaxing digestive sphincter muscles to promote bowel movements. This finding was in line with Tang et al (2020) (30) who reported that studied patients who received abdominal massage defecated more often compared to patients in the control group. Similarly Mohamed et al (2021) (31) stated that the frequency of defecation significantly increased in study group who received abdominal massage.…”

“…An external force is provided by massage manipulations working at specific parts and acupuncture acupoints on the body surface. The massage technique is employed to stimulate the body and adjust the functions of corresponding organs [ 22 , 23 ]. Hemiplegic limb movements are difficult to coordinate mostly due to a unified balance that cannot be achieved in antagonistic activities of the nervous system between excitement and inhibition after cerebral infarction.…”

As a frequent disease affecting the nervous system, cerebral infarction has emerged as a major cause of disability and elicits disorders in motor, sensation, and cognition as sequelae. No clear mechanism has been known in meridian massage despite it having been proved to be an effective therapeutic option. The study was carried out to explore the treatment of meridian massage on cerebral ischemia in rats and its effects on motor function restoration and nerve cell’s ultrastructure in the ischemic territory. The alleviated nerve damages and recovered injured brain tissues were found in the cerebral infarction model of SD rats after meridian massage. Expressions of miR-206 and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the gastrocnemius muscle were all well observed. The effects of miR-206 on BDNF were testified by overexpressed and interfered miR-206 in the C2C12 myoblast. Moreover, at the molecular level, meridian massage downregulated miR-206 expression at an elevated level of BDNF. Consequently, meridian massage exerts a vital role in promoting cerebral ischemia restoration, which is expected to provide an addition to the application of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the reconstruction and treatment of cerebral ischemia.

“…Abdominal massage with Effleurage technique is a noninvasive intervention that stimulates intestinal peristalsis through abdominal massaging activities applied clockwise over the intestines on the abdominal wall (Turan & Asti, 2016). Based on research by Ying, et al (2020) massage can stimulate and influence the overall function of internal organs and adjust gastrointestinal movements, which can achieve a good effect on the treatment of constipation. Abdominal massage with the Effleurage technique can induce defecation not only through the activation of intestinal stretch receptors but also by restimulating the somatic autonomic system to produce rectal waves.…”

Constipation is a symptom, not a disease, the causes are improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications. Constipation is characterized by defecating less than three times a week, and feces that are hard, dry, and difficult to expel, causing discomfort. One non-pharmacological therapy that can be used to treat constipation is abdominal massage with effleurage technique. The aim of this research was to analyze the effectiveness of abdominal massage using the effleurage technique against constipation in Dukuh Setro Village, Tambaksari District, Surabaya City. This research design uses a pre-experimental group pre-post test design, the research instrument uses an observation sheet, with a total of 31 respondents. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling. Data analysis used the McNemar statistical test. The results of the research before the abdominal massage were carried out with the effleurage technique all respondents (100%) experienced constipation after abdominal massage with the effleurage technique as many as 80.6% stated that they did not have constipation. The statistical test results obtained a significant p-value in the constipation category before and after abdominal massage with effleurage technique is p value = 0.000 with ɑ = < 0.05, this shows that abdominal massage with Effleurage technique is effective for treating constipation. Implications of abdominal massage research results with effleurage technique are One alternative action to treat constipation if done regularly and can become a new habit for adults who experience constipation.
