“…[2][3][4] Massage also has been demonstrated to be beneficial in alleviating symptoms from asthma, insomnia, colic, cystic fibrosis, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. [87][88][89][90][91][92] Mind-Body Medicine As defined by the NCCAM, mind-body medicine includes diverse practices such as relaxation, visual imagery, tai chi, qi gong, yoga, meditation, prayer, hypnosis, biofeedback, diaphragmatic breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and cognitive-behavioral therapies. Many of these practices, particularly prayer, are commonly used among adults.…”

The American Academy of Pediatrics is dedicated to optimizing the well-being of children and advancing family-centered health care. Related to these goals, the American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes the increasing use of complementary and alternative medicine in children and, as a result, the need to provide information and support for pediatricians. From 2000 to 2002, the American Academy of Pediatrics convened and charged the Task Force on Complementary and Alternative Medicine to address issues related to the use of complementary and alternative medicine in children and to develop resources to educate physicians, patients, and families. One of these resources is this report describing complementary and alternative medicine services, current levels of utilization and financial expenditures, and associated legal and ethical considerations. The subject of complementary and alternative medicine is large and diverse, and consequently, an in-depth discussion of each method of complementary and alternative medicine is beyond the scope of this report. Instead, this report will define terms; describe epidemiology; outline common types of complementary and alternative medicine therapies; review medicolegal, ethical, and research implications; review education and training for complementary and alternative medicine providers; provide resources for learning more about complementary and alternative medicine; and suggest communication strategies to use when discussing complementary and alternative medicine with patients and families.

“…However, it is remarkable how little research is actually available on MT for arthritis, given the prevalence of that condition (18,19) and the promising results for MT in two studies. In a 1997 study of children with mild-to-moderate juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, (20) MT greatly outperformed relaxation therapy for reducing the pain associated with the condition. Similarly, a more recent study of adults with osteoarthritis of the knee (21) found that MT significantly outperformed a wait-list control condition for reducing pain and improving physical functioning.…”

Background: Massage therapy (MT) is widely used and expanding rapidly, but systematic research on its mechanisms and effects has, in contrast with many other therapeutic fields, a short history.Purpose: To take stock of the current state of MT research and to explore approaches, directions, and strategies with the potential to make the next two decades of MT research optimally productive. Setting: The 2009 North American Research Conference on Complementary and Integrative Medicine held in Minneapolis, Minnesota.Method: Using a modified Delphi method, the study authors led an interactive workshop that aimed to identify established MT research findings, needed MT research, weaknesses and limitations in currently available MT research, and directions to pursue in the next two decades of MT research.Participants: The thirty-seven conference attendees-including MT researchers, educators, and practitioners, and other health care practitioners who already work interprofessionally with MT-actively participated in the workshop and ensured that a diversity of perspectives were represented.Results: The MT field has made rapid and laudable progress in its short history, but at the same time this short history is probably the main reason for most of the current shortcomings in MT research. Drawing on a diversity of backgrounds, workshop participants identified many opportunities and strategies for future research.Conclusion: Though lost time can never be recovered, the field's late start in research should not be allowed to be a demoralizing handicap to progress. Modern scientific methods and technologies, applied to the range of directions and dilemmas highlighted in this report, can lead to impressive progress in the next twenty years of MT research.

“…O programa deve conter: informação sobre a doença; equipe de profissionais especializados; autonomia no cuidado da saúde; independência na vida diária; orientação sobre puberdade; educação e orientação vocacional; saúde bucal; exercício; drogas e álcool; orientação sexual; e diferença entre reumatologia pediátrica e reumatologia do adulto (44) . O programa de transição parece ter boa aceitação pelos adolescentes, seus pais e profissionais da saúde AIJ (45) . massaGem Foi encontrado um único estudo não-randomizado que sugere que a massagem pode servir como recurso terapêutico para crianças com AIJ.…”

Introdução e objetivos: a artrite idiopática juvenil (AIJ) pode acarretar em seu curso clínico incapacidades físicas permanentes em crianças e adolescentes. Este estudo teve como objetivos a descrição das diversas modalidades de reabilitação, desde a avaliação até a prescrição de exercícios, bem como a elaboração de um guia prático de reabilitação para pacientes com AIJ. Fonte de dados: a pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados do Medline e do Lilacs. Na discussão dos diversos tópicos, foi considerada a experiência dos especialistas em reumatologia pediátrica e reabilitação do Lar Escola São Francisco e da Universidade Federal de São Paulo. Resumo: os pacientes com AIJ podem apresentar dor e limitação da amplitude de movimento articular e conseqüente diminuição da capacidade física, com comprometimento das capacidades aeróbia e anaeróbia. Não só o comprometimento articular, mas as disfunções cardíacas e autonômicas colaboram nesse processo, tendo como conseqüência uma baixa capacidade de executar atividades esportivas e atividades de vida diárias (AVDs). O American College of Rheumatology recomenda 30 minutos de atividade com intensidade moderada de duas a três vezes por semana. A hidroterapia está relacionada a uma maior aderência ao tratamento, além de auxiliar na diminuição da percepção dolorosa e dificuldade apresentada na realização das AVDs. As outras modalidades de reabilitação, tais como massagem, educação, proteção articular, conservação de energia e órteses, também são discutidas nesta revisão. Conclusão: há poucos estudos na literatura sobre reabilitação em crianças com AIJ, especialmente no que se refere a temas como prescrição adequada de exercícios, cargas, número de séries e repetições, bem como qual a melhor opção a ser utilizada -solo ou piscina. Acreditamos que mais estudos científicos são necessários para que possamos prescrever adequadamente os diversos tipos de exercícios.Palavras-chave: reabilitação, fisioterapia, artrite idiopática juvenil.
