What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
chair massageOther
Chair massage was performed useing only traditional methods of Swedish massage were used, consisting of stroking (smooth, continuous movements to relax and calm the sympathetic nervous system), kneading (consisting of wringing, squeezing muscles, compressing pressure points for the relaxation of soft tissues, i.e. muscles, tendons, fascia), stretching combined with swaying and passive movements of the upper limbs (to mobilize the joints of the upper limbs) and final stroking combined with slapping and shaking percussion, vibration.
the exercise programOther
The original set of exercises was developed based on the knowledge and clinical experience of the authors of the study and based on EBP (Evidence Based Practice). The program consisted of 14 strengthening and stretching exercises involving the muscles of the trunk and limbs whose main goal was to mobilize the joints and strengthen the weakened muscles and relax overloaded muscle groups.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| The chair massage group | Experimental | chair massage 15 min,, 2 x week; measurement before and after each treatment Receives: Other: chair massage |
| The exercise program group | Experimental | excercises 15 min., 2 x week; measurement before and after each treatment Receives: Other: the exercise program |
| The control group | No intervention | control 2 measurements, 4 weeks apart |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Changes in algometric measurements at 4 weeks
The algometric measurement concerned the assessment of muscle pressure sensitivity - pain threshold in kg/cm2 made using the Pain Test FPX Algometer (Wagner).
Measured: Change between Baseline and post-treatment after 4 weeks

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Changes in algometric measurements at 4 weeks (time frame: Change between Baseline and post-treatment after 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
