AbstractBackground & Aims: Given the importance of pain management in burn patients, the present study aimed to assess the effect of aromatherapy massage with aromatic oils of lavender and chamomile on the intensity of the background pain in burn patients. Materials & Methods:This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 105 patients with burn injuries admitted to Shaheed Motahari Hospital in Tehran, Iran during January-May 2018. The patients were selected via convenience sampling and allocated to three groups of control, placebo massage, and combined aromatic oil massage by drawing lots and blocks of four with cards. The interventions were performed 20 minutes before bedtime in three sessions for one week. The control group only received routine care. Data were collected using the visual analogue scale (VAS). Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 20 using descriptive statistics (frequency, frequency percentage, mean, and standard deviation), and inferential statistics (Chi-square, Fisher's exact test, analysis of variance, and paired t-test) were applied to determine the significance. Results: Before the interventions, the three groups had no significant difference in terms of the pain score (P=0.746), while after the intervention, the results indicated a significant difference between the three groups in terms of the pain score, (P<0.001), so that the mean pain intensity was lower in the combination oil massage group compared to the other groups, as well as the placebo group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Considering that aromatherapy massage could effectively improve the background pain in burn patients as a non-pharmacological, simple method, it is recommended that nurses and burn injuries medical teams apply this technique in the routine care program of these patients.

The Effects of Slow Stroke Back Massage and Lavender Aromatherapy on Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Patients

“…Several studies indicate that the combination of regular massage therapy and aromatherapy implementation may reduce the level of stress hormone cortisol , increase the response activities of relaxation, and muscle relaxation, sedative and euphoria (Jalalodini et al, 2016;Rafiei et al, 2018).…”

“…Relaxation therapy is one of the techniques to reduce stress and muscle tension. Relaxation therapy is required for hypertensive patients to make blood vessel relaxed hence vasodilation will occur which lead to normal blood pressure (Jalalodini et al, 20-16;Rafiei et al, 2018).…”

“…Hypertension among elderly is caused by structural and functional changes in blood vessel. The changes include atherosclerosis, loss of connective tissue elasticity, and decreased vascular muscle relaxation that it reduces the distention and tensile strength of blood vessels (Jalalodini et al, 2016;Rafiei et al, 2018). Uncontrolled high blood pressure will lead to stroke, myocardial infarct, kidney failure, encephalopathy, convulsion (Corwin, 2013).…”

Effects of aromatherapy massage on the severity of restless legs syndrome in hemodialysis patients: A randomized clinical trial

“…The second part of the questionnaire consisted of ten 5-point items in the Likert scale, and each item obtained a score of zero to four points (very severe, severe, moderate, mild, and none). The severity of this disorder is classified into five categories based on the scores obtained: nonproblematic (0), mild (1-10), moderate (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20), severe (21-30), and very severe (31-40). The data of the questionnaire were collected by researchers in both groups before and 1 week after the intervention using the interview method.…”

“…Aromatherapy massage has been widely used among complementary medicinal therapies. In this method, aromatic oils and plant volatiles are gradually absorbed through the skin (between 10 and 30 min) and exert their herbal healing effects such as sedative, analgesic, anticonvulsant, and anticonvulsant effects [16]. One task for nurses is to intervene to reduce the severity of the symptoms of RLS in patients undergoing HD; therefore, this study investigated the effect of aromatherapy massage on the severity of RLS in HD patients.…”
