Interventions
One session of massage therapy (for 60 minutes) was done by the patient's family member. Almond oil was used for effleurage and massage facilitation. Back, shoulder deltoid muscles, front and posterior parts of legs, arms, forearms, front and back parts of thighs, palms and fingers, metatarsus, front and back of feet and toes, belly and chest, auxiliaries and neck muscles of the patients were massaged. Massage techniques used included static massage, surface tension techniques, stretching massage, superficial lymph unload, transverse friction techniques, and myofacial releasing techniques. All the massage sessions were conducted in the morning shifts. For the control group, there was no intervention and patients just received the routine care of the unit.
