Background
Physiotherapy patients can suffer from anxiety and depression, which can affect their well-being and quality of life. Touch techniques are commonly used in physiotherapy to help relieve patient symptoms but there is little evidence in the scientific literature about the effect of touch on patients' psychological symptoms. Objectives The aim of this umbrella review is to provide an overview of touch therapies’ effect on symptoms of anxiety and depression in patients undergoing physiotherapy, and to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to recommend the use of touch as an adjunctive treatment for anxiety and depression in physiotherapy. Methods Systematic reviews including RCTs reporting effects of any kind of touch on anxiety, depression and/or quality of sleep have been searched through three databases: PubMed, CINAHL and MEDLINE (CINAHL). PRISMA and AMSTAR 2 were used to annotate the systematic reviews and merged with the primary studies quality as reported by the reviews authors Finally, the extracted results were sorted by evidence and the proportions of studies’ qualities were calculated. A meta-meta-analysis was conducted on the results extracted from the forest plots of the eligible reviews, with a Hedges G mean correction for small samples as effect size. Results Based on results sorted by intervention followed by outcome and evidence, massage shows a positive effect on anxiety and depression while the addition of aromatherapy oils might just have a slight tendency for anxiety. Other touch therapies seem to be not supported in general. Meta-meta-analysis The Hedges G for anxiety was 0,35, indicating a moderate shift in favour of massage for anxiety. As for depression, a 0,67 Hedges G was based on a single meta-analysis. The results mainly focused on cancer patients and pregnant women populations. Discussion: Although both qualitative and quantitative results indicate a positive effect of massage effect on anxiety and depression, the diversity of non-technical touches interventions involved in physiotherapy should also be considered. Umbrella’s validated method proves applicable but and further good quality quantitative and qualitative primary research is needed given the small number of published studies in certain patient populations and for certain touch therapies. |
