[Purpose] This study performed an effect-size analysis of massage therapy for shoulder pain. [Subjects and Methods] The database search was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, RISS, NDSL, NANET, DBpia, and KoreaMed. The meta-analysis was based on 15 studies, covering a total of 635 participants, and used a random effects model. [Results] The effect size estimate showed that massage therapy had a significant effect on reducing shoulder pain for short-term efficacy (SMD: -1.08, 95% CI: -1.51 to -0.65) and for long-term efficacy (SMD: -0.47, 95% CI: -0.71 to -0.23). [Conclusion] The findings from this review suggest that massage therapy is effective at improving shoulder pain. However, further research is needed, especially a randomized controlled trial design or a large sample size, to provide evidence-based recommendations.
[目的] 本研究对按摩疗法治疗肩部疼痛进行了效应量分析。[对象与方法] 通过PubMed、CINAHL、Embase、PsycINFO、RISS、NDSL、NANET、DBpia和KoreaMed进行数据库检索。荟萃分析基于15项研究，共纳入635名参与者，并采用随机效应模型。[结果] 效应量估计表明，按摩疗法在短期疗效（标准化均数差：-1.08，95%可信区间：-1.51至-0.65）和长期疗效（标准化均数差：-0.47，95%可信区间：-0.71至-0.23）方面对减轻肩部疼痛有显著效果。[结论] 本综述的结果表明，按摩疗法在改善肩部疼痛方面是有效的。然而，需要进一步的研究，特别是随机对照试验设计或大样本量研究，以提供基于证据的建议。
