“…In this randomized controlled trial, 36 infants with a diagnosis of GERD were assigned to a massage or a non-massage control group (Neu, Pan, Workman, Marcheggiani-Howard, Furuta, et al, 2014). Although the massaged infants received 30 minute massages twice a week for 6 weeks, they did not show a decrease in GERD symptoms.…”

Abstract:This review on newborn massage therapy research is based on literature searches of Pubmed, Medline and PsychInfo for studies published during the last six years to update a similar review published in 2010. In that review, massage therapy was noted to lead to greater weight gain and growth in preterm newborns who had received moderate pressure massage. The weight gain was thought to relate to increased vagal activity, gastric motility, insulin and IGF -1 levels resulting from the stimulation of pressure receptors during massage. The current review includes randomized controlled trial studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the effects of massage therapy on both preterm and full -term newborns. Immediate effects have been noted for massage therapy during painful procedures such as the heelstick for preterm newborns and vaccinations for full-term newborns. Although most of the studies have focused on the effects of different oils used in massage therapy to enhance weight gain in preterm newborns, other conditions that have benefited from massage therapy include hyperbilirubinemia, feeding intolerance and brain injury. Mothers of preterm newborns have also experienced less depression, stress and anxiety after massaging their infants. Although very few studies have been conducted with full-term newborns, this review includes research on the effects of massage therapy on sleep patterns in full term newborns and their mothers, on hyperbilirubinemia, pain, colic, cortisol and HIV. Despite the methodological limitations noted for some of these studies including small sample sizes and the need for more randomized controlled trials on a standard moderate pressure massage protocol, the data converge to suggest that newborns benefit both physically and developmentally from being massaged by their mothers during the newborn period and their mothers also benefit when they are providing their newborns massage.

“…Some of the studies did not assess the data statistically; part of them justified this because of small sample size. 6---8 Some correlations have been suggested to justify the faster weight gain of PI submitted to TKS, such as greater vagal stimulation and gastric activity, 28,29 relationship with energy intake, 3,10,15,17,22---31,39 sleep-wake behavior and behavioral scales, 6---8,10,14,19---27,36,39 serum insulin and IGF-1 levels, 30,37 and use of oil. 33,40,41 The results found by Diego et al 28 and Field et al 42 on the effects of mild and moderate pressure showed that moderate pressure provided greater vagal stimulation.…”

“…All of the following parameters were analyzed by clinical studies in PI who received TS/MT whether or not associated with KS during their NICU stay: weight gain; 3,6---10,14--- 37 42 use or non-use of oil; 33,40,41 speed of brain maturation; 38 vagal activity and gastric motility; 28,29 serum insulin and growth factor I levels; 30,37 late-onset sepsis; 16 body fat deposition; 37 effect on the immune system; 32 and bone formation. 45 The studies had very similar objectives; that is, to identify the effects of TKS on these parameters and the possible causes of its benefits.…”

“…In addition, the parents notice a greater understanding of their child because they learn to identify their different types of crying and the level of urgency that requires their attention, hence, they respond better to their children's needs (4) . It also promotes the development of children through the active stimulation of the neurological system through the skin (6) , allowing for example, an early discharge in hospitalized children because of diseases due to their premature condition (7) . This latter, thanks to the stimulation of better gastric motility, that would be associated with improved digestion and absorption of food, and therefore, the stimulation of growth (8) .…”

Meaning of becoming mother and son/daughter through massageDoren FM, Raies CL, Martínez SR RESUMENObjetivo: Desvelar la experiencia vivida por las madres al realizar masaje a sus hijos/as, con el fin de conocer el fenómeno en el contexto del desarrollo saludable entre madre e hijo/a. Método: Se trata de una investigación cualitativa con abordaje fenomenológico, en la cual participaron once mujeres que realizaron masaje a sus hijos/as y que respondieron a la principal pregunta: ¿Qué significó para usted la experiencia de realizar masajes a su hijo/a? Resultados: La experiencia de dar masaje a un hijo/a significó desarrollar el ser madre, desarrollar el ser hijo/a y, la relación de apego entre ambos. El masaje permite operacionalizar esta integralidad, transformándose en una herramienta de comunicación, de estimulación y de promoción del apego seguro, al favorecer la interacción amorosa entre madre e hijo/a. Conclusión: Esta práctica debe ser considerada en la oferta de los programas que promueven la salud integral de la madre y del hijo/a.

Method: This is a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach carried out with 11 women who massaged their children and answered the guiding question: What did the experience of massaging your child mean to you? Results: The experience of massaging their children meant the development of their being a mother and of being a son/daughter, in addition to developing the attachment relationship between them. The massage can operationalize this integrality, become a tool of communication, stimulation and promotion of secure attachment, by promoting the loving interaction between mother and child. Conclusion: This practice should be considered as an option in the programs that promote the comprehensive health of the mother and child. DESCRIPTORS
