Studied children with mild to moderate juvenile rheumatoid arthritis who were massaged by their parents 15 minutes a day for 30 days (and a control group engaged in relaxation therapy). The children's anxiety and stress hormone (cortisol) levels were immediately decreased by the massage, and over the 30-day period their pain decreased on self-reports, parent reports, and their physician's assessment of pain (both the incidence and severity) and pain-limiting activities.
研究人员选取了患有轻度至中度青少年类风湿性关节炎的儿童，让他们的父母每天为其按摩15分钟，持续30天（并设置了一组进行放松疗法的对照组）。按摩后，孩子们的焦虑和应激激素（皮质醇）水平立即下降，在这30天期间，根据他们自己的报告、父母的报告以及医生对疼痛（包括发病率和严重程度）和疼痛限制活动的评估，他们的疼痛有所减轻。
