Clinical Trial Summary

Patients with heart failure will be entered. Participants will be randomized to one of three study arms: Arm 1: Classical massage, Arm 2: Relaxation, Arm 3: Control Hypothesis: Classical Massage and Benson Muscle Relaxation will decrease frequency, severity, discomfort of symptoms and improve quality of life.


Clinical Trial Description

Previous reports have revealed that classical massage and Benson relaxation exercise are promising for physiological parameters such as respiratory rate, pulse, blood pressure in heart failure patients. On the other hand, research examining effects of these approaches on physical symptom status that is including dyspnea, orthopnea, fatigue, chest pain, peripheral edema, sleep problems and dizziness and quality of life is limited. The present study investigates the effects of classical massage and Benson relaxation exercise in a single-site, 3-arm, randomized, controlled study of 96 patients with heart failure. Arm 1: Classical massage; Arm 2: Benson relaxation exercise; Arm 3: Control. The investigators hypothesize that Classical Massage and Benson relaxation exercise will decrease frequency, severity, discomfort of symptoms and improve quality of life. ;
