چکیده انگلیسی


- Massage therapy combined with phototherapy is an effective method for reducing serum total bilirubin.
- There are significant relationship between frequency of defecation daily and serum billirubin level in third and fourth day in massage group.
- The level of bilirubin at baseline in both groups was the same, but more intense decreased in massage group.

ObjectiveDue to the effects of massage on various laboratory parameters (including those related to jaundice) in infants and the expansion of existing studies to achieve effective and safe therapy in the treatment of neonatal jaundice, this study aimed to investigate the effect of massage on bilirubin levels in cases of neonatal jaundice.MethodsIn this study, 134 patients were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (massage combined with phototherapy, n = 67) or a control group (phototherapy only, n = 67). In both groups, serum total bilirubin level and frequency of daily bowel movements were measured and compared during each of the first four days of treatment.ResultsBaseline levels of bilirubin were similar between the two groups (P > 0.05). During the measurements obtained post-intervention, significant differences surfaces between the two groups in bilirubin levels and frequency of daily bowel movements (P < 0.05 for both). No significant relationship was observed during days 1 and 2 of massage therapy between daily frequency of bowel movements and serum bilirubin level (P > 0.05); this relationship became significant during the third and fourth days (P < 0.05).ConclusionMassage therapy combined with phototherapy is an effective method for reducing serum total bilirubin in infants with neonatal jaundice.
