Little is known about the effect of massage on post-burn tissue in children. We conducted a pilot study to examine the effect of massage (3-5 days) on mood and range of motion (ROM) in eight post-burn children. Participants showed significant increases in ROM from Time 1 (pre-massage, first day) to Time 2 (post-massage, last day) in massaged tissue but not control (non-massaged) tissue. Mood was elevated throughout the study and thus did not change across time. Although massage improved ROM, we are cautious in our interpretation because of the small sample size.
关于按摩对儿童烧伤后组织的影响，目前所知甚少。我们进行了一项初步研究，以检验按摩（3 - 5天）对八名烧伤后儿童的情绪和关节活动范围（ROM）的影响。在接受按摩的组织中，参与者从时间1（按摩前，第一天）到时间2（按摩后，最后一天）的关节活动范围有显著增加，但在未按摩（对照）组织中没有。在整个研究过程中情绪有所改善，因此随时间没有变化。尽管按摩改善了关节活动范围，但由于样本量小，我们在解释时持谨慎态度。
