RESUMO

This study was conducted to determine the effect of Swedish massage on blood glucose level in children with diabetes mellitus [DM]. It was prospective randomized controlled trial study that conducted on 36 children, 6-12 years old with DM, recruited from a hospital in Qom City, Iran. The children were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Swedish massage was performed 15 minutes, 3 times a week, for 3 months in intervention group. The blood glucose levels were evaluated immediately after every session of massage in two groups. The mean ages of children in the intervention [n=18] and control [n=18] groups were 9.05 +/- 1.55 and 9.83 +/- 2.03 years respectively. There was statistically no significant difference in blood glucose levels before intervention between two groups [P=0.586], but the blood glucose levels were lower significantly in intervention group in comparison with control group after intervention [P<0.0001]. Addition of Swedish massage to daily routines; exercise, diet and medication regimens, is an effective intervention to reduce blood glucose level in diabetic children
