Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)
Definition A group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine.
* NCCAM prior to December 2014
NCCIM & Massage
• Numerous systematic reviews and clinical studies have suggested that at least for the short term, massage therapy for cancer patients may reduce pain, promote relaxation, and boost mood.
• The National Cancer Institute urges massage therapists to take specific precautions with cancer patients and avoid massaging:– Open wounds, bruises, or areas with skin breakdown– Directly over the tumor site– Areas with a blood clot in a vein– Sensitive areas following radiation therapy.https://nccih.nih.gov/health/massage/

What is Oncology Massage?• Oncology massage is the modification of existing massage
therapy techniques in order to safely work with complications of cancer and cancer treatment.
• Anyone who has ever received cancer treatment, from those in active treatment to those in recovery or survivorship, as well as those at the end of life, are best served by a massage therapist who has received special training in oncology massage.

minutes– Massage type? Standard (Swedish), light touch, foot– By whom? Licensed massage therapist

REST Study: Pain & Mood
Population: 380 adults with advanced cancer experiencing moderate-to-severe pain (pain ≥ 4, 0-10 scale); 90% in hospice
Study design: National, Multi-site, randomized, single-blinded clinical trial
Intervention: Six (30-min) massage sessions over 2 weeks.• Massage Therapy (MT) – experimental group• Simple touch (ST) – control group
By Whom? Licensed massage therapist, > 6 months cancer patient experiencePrimary Outcome Measures: Decreased pain
• Immediate: memorial pain assessment card (MPAC)• Sustained : brief pain inventory (BPI)
Secondary Outcome Measures:
1. Immediate change in mood (MPAC scale)
2. Improved quality of life (McGill QOL)
3. Decreased physical symptom distress (MSAS-Physical)
4. Decreased emotional symptom distress (MSAS-Psych)
5. Less total analgesic medication use.Kutner 2008

• 43% of patients with advanced cancer; 55% with breast cancer• 124 of the 144 (86%) patients in each group completing at least two of the
four sessions.
Massage for Anxiety/Depression:
Results
Wilkinson JCO 2007
• At 6 weeks: clinical anxiety/depression and self reported anxiety improved in aromatherapy versus usual care
• At 10 weeks (primary outcome): only self reported anxiety significantly improved
Massage in Cancer Symptom Management: Summary
• Improves symptoms including– Pain– Mood
• Anxiety• Depression
• Single massage: symptomatic benefit may persist ≥ 48 hours
• Series of massages: benefit for anxiety may persist up to 10 weeks post-treatment
• More research is needed to understand mechanism of massage effect
