Abstract

Background: MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) is one of common autoimmune diseases with 0.1% incidence in the world population. PAIN is one of its clinical manifestations and, according to recent studies, it mostly remains untreated. PAIN relief is a primary nursing intervention and, currently, complementary therapies such as MASSAGE and AROMATHERAPY are increasingly used for it.Purpose: This quasi-experimental study was conducted to compare between the effects of MASSAGE with MENTHOL (aromatherapy) and sweet almond on MS-related PAIN in patients referring to Mazandaran MS Association in Sari, 2006.Methods: 80 MS patients were selected by purposive sampling method. Inclusion criteria consisted of age between 20 and 40; no MASSAGE prohibition; presence of PAIN in lumbar or distal extremities; no history of allergy, headache and respiratory diseases. Data were collected by a questionnaire in two parts: demographics and McGill PAIN scale (0-5). Its validity and reliability were checked by content and internal consistency (r=0.88) methods respectively. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: MASSAGE group receiving sweet almond MASSAGE and AROMATHERAPY group receiving aromatic (mint abstract) MENTHOL MASSAGE. Severity of PAIN was recorded and compared before and after the intervention.Results: Finding showed no difference between the groups in terms of demographic data and PAIN severity before the intervention (P< 0.05). On the other hand, a significant difference was found within (P<0.001) and between (P<0.001) the groups after the intervention.Conclusion: It can be concluded that both methods have significant effects on PAIN severity but MASSAGE with MENTHOL is more effective. Since studies in this regard are limited, further investigations are warranted.
