Inclusion Criteria: Inclusion Criteria: - Diagnosis of CF evidenced by a prior documented positive sweat test (>60 mEq/ml by quantitative pilocarpine iontophoresis and genotype with two identified mutations consistent with CF) - Males and females, aged 8 to 21 years at time of enrollment to obtain a broad range of symptoms related to tissue changes. (Over time, individuals with CF present with increasing symptoms with age and disease progression.) - English speaking - Pulmonary function clinical baseline <100% (Baseline is defined as the highest PFT during the 6 months prior to PFT at enrollment.) * This criteria was eliminated to expand eligible subjects (including PFT baseline >100). - Clinically stable as defined by no evidence of acute upper or lower respiratory tract infections or other acute illnesses requiring use of antibiotics for at least 14 days prior to enrollment. (Pulmonary exacerbation often includes cough which may affect responses to MT.) * this criteria was omitted after study began as subjects were frequently being treated with antibiotics secondary to CF and pulmonary exacerbations. - Approval to participate from Pulmonary Physician - Informed consent to participate Exclusion Criteria: - Exposed to any investigational drug or device within 30 days of enrollment - Any other illness at time of enrollment not a direct result of CF that the pulmonary physician determines that MT is contraindicated - Inability to lay flat on massage table as is required for massage protocol - Platelet count within past 12 months < 100,000. (Contraindication for deep tissue MT.) *eliminated this criteria with medical approval. - INR International Normalized Ratio (INR) - (blood test used to monitor the effectiveness of blood thinning drugs) within past 12 months > 1.5 (Delayed clotting time is a contraindication for deep tissue MT.) * eliminated this criteria with medical approval. - History of hepatosplenomegaly as deep tissue massage is contraindicated. - History of lung and/or liver transplant as deep tissue MT may be contraindicated with anti-rejection drug protocol. - Received MT within the past 30 days to eliminate the potential bias of previous response to treatment. *changed protocol to allow enrollment and wait 30 days to initiate protocol. - Skin condition or injury that would be contraindicated for MT and would restrict ability to apply massage strokes according to protocol |

---|---|---|---|---|
Other | Pain | Numeric rating scale will be used to assess pain. Pain Location and NRS Pain Score __Pre massage therapy __Post massage therapy __Follow-up phone call (date)_____ LOCATION OF PAIN NRS (0-10) Description of Pain (circle) Reported cause Start date Identify location and describe: sharp or dull; constant or intermittent Follow Up Phone Call for Pain Ask: "Are you having pain?" ___No ___Yes (If yes, ask the following questions and repeat for each location: "Where is your pain?" "On a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being no pain and 10 the worst pain you have ever had, rate your pain in your (location). How would you describe your pain in your (location)? Is it sharp like a stabbing knife or dull like an ache or pressure? Is it constant (is it steady and does not change?) or is it intermittent (does it come and go)? What do you think caused you to have pain in your (location)? When did this pain start?" |
at time 1, obtain baseline pain score. Collect pain score pre and post each massage and 1-2 days following each massage. control group pain scores wil be obtained following timeframe for post massage data collection | No |
Primary | Quality of life _Peds QOL and CFQ-R | standardized measures of quality of life will be administered to subject and to parents of subjects under 18 years of age. Muscle tightness, ease of breathing, and overall relaxation 0-10 scores captured subjective QOL data. | measured twice; visit 1 for baseline for treatment and control group and 10-12 weeks later following last treatment for treatment group, and same time frame for control group | No |
Secondary | Pulmonary function | Pulmonary function test will be obtained prior to first data collection visit, using clinical pft's for treatment and control groups. Clinical pft's will also be obtained for control group 10-12 weeks following first data set. For treatment group, research pft will be obtained following last massage 10-12 weeks following initial data collection. Ease of breathing will be measured pre and post each massage for treatment group and at time 1 and 2 for control group. Thoracic excursion will be measured pre and post each massage and x2 during each massage for treatment group, and at time 1 and 2 for control group. |
pre treatment, prior to each massage, post treatment; Time 1 = initial data collection; collect data over 10-12 weeks for treatment group. For control group, time 1 is initial data collection; time 2 is 10-12 weeks later. | No |
