Quality of Life Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effects of Massage Therapy on Quality of Life in Youth and Young Adults With Cystic Fibrosis: A Pilot Study
The purpose of this study is to describe the effects of massage therapy on quality of life (QOL) in youth and young adults (ages 8 to 21 years) with cystic fibrosis (CF).
Massage therapy (MT) is defined as hands on manipulation of the soft tissue of the body with
the intent to produce therapeutic, physiologic effects and to promote health and well-being
(Oawriter - OAC - codes.ohio.gov, 2010; American Massage Therapy Association, 2010). Quality
of life is defined as a self-description (child or adult) or parent's description of the
child's perceived health and well-being based on satisfaction with physical, emotional,
psychosocial and school/role functioning (Varni et al., 2002). Additional measures for this
study which may influence QOL include pain, pulmonary function, ease of breathing and
thoracic excursion.
Research Questions:
i. What differences in changes of QOL scores, as measured by the Peds QL 4.0 (Pediatric
Quality of Life Inventory) and the CFQ-R (Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire - Revised) are found
in youth and young adults with CF between the group receiving MT and control group? What
changes in QOL scores in each group are found over time? ii. What differences in changes of
musculoskeletal pain, as measured by the Numeric Rating Scale for pain are found in youth
and young adults with CF between the group receiving MT and the control group? What changes
in pain scores in each group are found over time? iii. What differences in changes of the
pulmonary function are found in youth and young adults with CF between the group receiving
MT and the control group in terms of the following:
1. Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) scores,
2. Single breath counting score, measuring ease of breathing, and
3. Thoracic excursion as measured by the cloth tape measure technique? What changes in the
above pulmonary function in each group are found over time?
