Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effects of Aromatherapy Massage on chronic pain and quality of life (QOL) in four patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) whose pain was unresponsive to medication.
METHODS: A three-arm crossover trial was conducted, consisting of Inhalation (I), Massage (M), and Aromatherapy Massage (AM), each over three weeks. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and King's PD Pain Scale (KPPS). Plasma dopamine and β-endorphin levels and electroencephalography (EEG) were used as objective indicators. QOL was measured using the PDQ-39. Data were analyzed with linear mixed models (p < 0.05).
RESULTS: Only AM significantly increased plasma dopamine. Both M and AM elevated β-endorphin levels and reduced VAS scores during and after intervention. KPPS scores improved following AM. EEG showed the highest peak alpha frequency during AM. PDQ-39 scores improved by 3.75 points after AM.
CONCLUSION: Aromatherapy massage may offer effective multisensory stimulation for alleviating chronic pain and enhancing QOL in PD patients. It may serve as a useful complementary strategy in pain management.
