We conducted a feasibility randomized controlled trial exploring the effect of aromatherapy massage on sleep in critically ill patients. Patients were randomized to receive aromatherapy massage or usual care, and feasibility of recruitment and outcome data completion was captured. Sleep (depth) was assessed through Bispectral Index monitoring and self/nurse-reported Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaires, and the Sleep in the ICU Questionnaire. Thirty-four patients participated: 17 were randomized to aromatherapy massage and 17 to control. Five participants who received the intervention completed outcomes for analysis (alongside eight controls). A larger study was deemed unfeasible in this population, highlighting the value of testing feasibility of complex interventions, such as massage for sleep in ICU.
我们进行了一项可行性随机对照试验，探讨芳香按摩对重症患者睡眠的影响。患者被随机分配接受芳香按摩或常规护理，并记录招募的可行性和结局数据的完成情况。通过脑电双频指数监测和自我/护士报告的 Richards-Campbell 睡眠问卷以及重症监护病房睡眠问卷评估睡眠（深度）。共有 34 名患者参与：17 名随机分配到芳香按摩组，17 名分配到对照组。接受干预的 5 名参与者完成了分析（还有 8 名对照组）。在该人群中，更大规模的研究被认为不可行，这凸显了测试复杂干预措施（如 ICU 中的按摩对睡眠）可行性的重要性。
