Abstract
A prospective case study was carried out with patients of St.Joseph`s hospice for Dying destitute in Dindigul/Southindia. Patients were treated with a treatment at baseline and on the next day. Outcomes were measured quantitatively by using a numeric rating scale (0-10, 10 maximum intensity of pain felt) at baseline, directly after treatment and at the day after the treatment to determine the description of the intensity of the pain. Results: Ten patients (5 women and 5 men) participated in the study.The majority described the therapy as a pleasant experience. The pain intensity at baseline was reduced from 8.3 �± SD 1.16 to 4.6 �± 1.52 at day one and from 4.6 �± 2.07 to 2.4 �± 1.58 at day two. Conclusion: A clinical relevant pain reduction was described as a short time outcome, the therapy was received and perceived well. Forthcoming research should include a control group, randomization, a higher number of participants and a longer period of treatment.Biography
