Effects of Massage Technique for Pain, Anxiety, and Delirium Management in ICU Patients With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

This research study seeks to explore the effects of massage techniques on pain and anxiety
relief among patients with subarachnoid hemorrhages in the ICU setting in comparison to
subarachnoid hemorrhagic patients using standard medical therapy. In addition, our aim is to
decrease the overall medication use to treat pain and anxiety, and to determine the impact of
massage on sleep duration, quality, and breathing. Our goal is to improve and promote comfort
during the ICU stay as well as decrease the need for narcotic medication usage.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Clinical diagnosis of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage

Exclusion Criteria:
