Authors
Abstract
Female veterans experience higher rates of chronic pain, depression, and anxiety than do male veterans. Gynecologic examinations and procedures can be stressful, painful, and anxiety provoking. Research has shown that massage can help reduce pain and anxiety. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between massage and well-being in female veterans.
