“…In his review of the literature, Yates (2004) found studies indicating that massage therapy was associated with reductions in depressive symptoms in children with diabetes, and in samples of participants with fibromyalgia, breast cancer, back pain, and burns. Field (2000), reports on the work of her research group, which found reductions in depressive symptoms in anorexic women currently in treatment for anorexia and in bulimic adolescent in-patients, as measured by the Profile of Mood States (POMS).…”

“…Field (1998) also found that massage therapy reduced anticipatory anxiety before debridement for burn patients, and indirectly alleviated pain during debridement. Interestingly, though 71% of the participants had never received massage therapy before the study, the participants did experience benefits in pain reduction from this treatment (Field, 2000). Studies have also found massage therapy to be associated with pain reduction for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and migraine headaches (Field, 1998) and for premenstrual syndrome (Field, 2000).…”

Studies have also found massage therapy to be associated with pain reduction for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and migraine headaches (Field, 1998) and for premenstrual syndrome (Field, 2000). One study of pain reduction (Field, 1998) randomly assigned fibromyalgia patients to either massage therapy, transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS), or a sham TENS group.…”

“…Other conditions for which massage therapy has demonstrated positive effects include immune disorders (Rich, 2002), neuromuscular function associated with cerebral palsy and Parkinson's disease (Field, 2006) and spinal cord patients (Diego, Field, & Hernandez-Reif, 2002b; Rogers, 2002), and enhancing growth and development in preterm infants (Dieter & Emory, 2002; Field, 2006). For instance, massage therapy has been associated with improved immune function in adolescents with HIV, children with leukemia, and women diagnosed with stage I or II breast cancer (Field, 2000; Field, 2006). In the studies of breast cancer patients and adolescents with HIV for instance, natural killer cells increased after massage therapy.…”

“…Several books by psychologists (e.g. Field, 2000, 2006; Rich, 2002) and one written for physicians (Yates, 2004) fit this criterion. In addition to reviewing research utilizing Swedish massage techniques, Yates (2004) also includes research on related healing modalities.…”

While many individuals utilize massage therapy, there is a relative paucity of research on its effectiveness. In addition to a lack of familiarity with documented massage therapy effects, practicing psychologists may not be aware of the training, experience, and credentials required for massage therapy and thus may be reluctant to make referrals, or may risk making inappropriate referrals. The present article aims to define and describe massage therapy, and to survey the clinical conditions and populations for which evidence supports the utilization of massage therapy. Existing research supports the effectiveness of massage therapy for pain reduction, anxiety, and depression, and for a range of clinical conditions, from premature infants to the agitated elderly, and from various autoimmune and immune conditions to various sleep disorders, spinal cord injuries, and strokes. Furthermore, the current status of massage therapy training, certification, and licensure will be described and the relevance and significance of massage therapy for psychology will be discussed.

The art of touch therapy has been around for centuries and has evolved into various models and styles throughout the years. In addition to reducing muscle pain, relieving stress, and providing relaxation, this therapy has worked and has been useful for many people. Methods such as touch or pressure stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which plays a role in a person's emotional well-being. Knowing its effects, the interaction between therapeutic devices used on the body needs to be studied further. The contact area provided by the deep touch pressure (DTP) tool will also play an important role in the therapeutic outcome. In addition, levels of comfort in pressure treatment should also be explored further to ensure compliance. This paper describes in extensive the potential of DTP in providing a comfort effect from a contact mechanics perspective. Interactions of various DTP types and pressure distribution on body area have been further investigated to minimize the contact mechanics research gap in DTP and provide the bridge between sensory therapy and the mechanical engineering domain.

Objective: Research on the psychopathological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has not specifically focused on mothers with dysregulated eating and their children. Methods: This study aimed to observe whether the symptoms of mothers with binge eating episodes (assessed through the SCL-90/R and the TFEQ-R18) worsened from the pre-pandemic period (T1) to the pandemic period (T2). In addition, we sought to assess whether the levels of internalizing/externalizing and dysregulation symptoms in children (assessed through the CBCL 6–18) worsened from T1 to T2. Results: Our results showed that the values obtained for mothers in the SCL-90/R were significantly higher at T2 (during the pandemic), particularly for Depression, Phobic Anxiety, Interpersonal Sensitivity, and Obsessive–Compulsive subscales. Moreover, in both the Emotional Eating and Uncontrolled Eating subscales of the TFEQ-R18, mothers at T2 scored substantially higher than mothers at T1. The emotional/behavioral functioning of children was more maladaptive at T2, according to mothers, especially for the subscales of Withdrawn, Anxious/Depressed, and Aggressive Behavior. Children also had significantly higher scores on the Internalizing and Externalizing subscales, as well as greater symptoms of dysregulation. Conclusions: This study contributes to demonstrating that the COVID-19 pandemic may have had increased maladaptive emotional/behavioral functioning in children and their mothers with dysregulated eating.
