Abstract EN
A considerable number of cancer patients use complementary medicine therapies in order to alleviate different symptoms such as pain, anxiety, and depression, occurring in connection with cancer.
This paper explores the question to what extent massage therapies are able to reduce the amount of pain, anxiety, and depression.
For this purpose, a systematic literature analysis was carried out in the electronic databases and specialist journals.
There is already evidence that massage therapies can influence the symptoms of pain, anxiety, and depression in a positive way.
