Five patients who presented with symptoms of tension and anxiety were subsequently referred to a physiotherapist and treated with Connective Tissue Massage. Psychophysiological recordings of heart rate, frontalis EMG, skin resistance and forearm extensor EMG were taken before and after treatment. All patients showed a significant response to treatment in one or more of the psychophysiological parameters. Results are discussed in relation to the hypothesis that each individual has a unique stress response pattern. Preliminary findings proved interesting and supported clinical findings with regard to the effectiveness of this treatment for some patients suffering from Anxiety States.
五名出现紧张和焦虑症状的患者随后被转介给一名物理治疗师，并接受了结缔组织按摩治疗。在治疗前后记录了心率、额肌肌电图、皮肤电阻和前臂伸肌肌电图的心理生理数据。所有患者在一个或多个心理生理参数上对治疗均表现出显著反应。结合每个人都有独特的应激反应模式这一假设对结果进行了讨论。初步研究结果很有趣，并支持了关于这种治疗方法对一些焦虑症患者有效性的临床发现。
