“…Shimizu et al [45] did not observe significant variations in sCgA when assessing the effects of movement music intervention in female older adults. And, similarly, no effect of hand massage prompted relaxation was obtained in sCgA from female geriatric facility residents [46]. No indication was given in these mentioned studies on dementia status of participants.…”

Salivary chromogranin A (sCgA) is gaining attention as a biomarker of psychological stress. The objective of this work was to determine whether individualized music intervention and multisensory stimulation environment (MSSE) in a Snoezelen room produce changes in sCgA in severely demented older patients, and to assess the possible existence of differences in sCgA levels between the two types of interventions. Older adults with severe dementia (n = 22) were randomly assigned to two intervention groups. They participated in MSSE or individualized music interventions in 30-min weekly sessions for 16 weeks. Levels of sCgA were evaluated before and after a session, or 30-min interval, at four different time points: before starting the trial, in the middle and end of the intervention period, and two months later. Comparison of sCgA values obtained after each session with those obtained before (or at the same hour in before trial and follow-up samplings) showed no significant differences either in the individualized music or in the MSSE group at any sampling time. Comparison between the two types of interventions, both before and after each session, in the four sampling times, did not produce any significant difference either. Furthermore, no significant correlation was obtained between agitation, anxiety, cognitive function, and dementia severity with sCgA levels. In conclusion, despite beneficial effects of both individualized music and MSSE interventions being previously reported on neuropsychiatric outcomes for older patients with dementia, sCgA seems to not be a good indicator of these benefits.

“…16 Previous studies support an association of hand massage with improved comfort level of nursing home residents 17 and geriatric patients. 32,33 In addition, many studies have shown the effectiveness of back, feet, and hand massages on increasing patient comfort. 34,35 Hand massage may provide more effective comfort when combined with other therapies during the perioperative period.…”

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of hand massage on patient anxiety and comfort before cataract surgery. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Methods: The 140 patients in this study were assigned to the intervention group (n ¼ 70), which received a 10-minute hand massage before cataract surgery, and to the control group (n ¼ 70), which received routine nursing care. The visual analog scale (VAS) and Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were used to collect data. Findings: The median STAI state scores of the intervention and control groups were found to be 46.0 (44.7 to 48.0) and 57.0 (55.75 to 59.00), respectively. The VAS comfort score of the intervention group after hand massage (4.0 [1.7-5.0]) was lower than that of the control group immediately before surgery (8.0 [6.0-10.0]) (P < .05). In addition, except oxygen saturation, the remaining vital signs were lower in the intervention group. Conclusions: Hand massage reduced the anxiety of patients, positively affected their vital signs, and increased their comfort.
