Massage-like stroking of rats
Massage is an ancient treatment that still is commonly used in humans. Massage is reported to have several beneficial effects including activation of the relaxation and growth response that is proposed to be mediated by oxytocin (OT). In the present thesis the effects of repeated massage-like stroking (stroking) in rats has been studied. The experimenter restraints the rat with one hand and wit...
متن کاملSafety protocols for gua sha (press-stroking) and baguan (cupping).
Gua sha (press-stroking) and Baguan (cupping) are therapeutic procedures of traditional East Asian medicine (TEAM) that are also practiced in integrative clinical as well as domestic or familial settings. They may be defined as instrument assisted mechanical stimulation of the body surface that intentionally creates therapeutic petechiae and ecchymosis representing extravasation of blood in the...
متن کاملNeural correlates of gentle skin stroking in early infancy
Physical expressions of affection play a foundational role in early brain development, but the neural correlates of affective touch processing in infancy remain unclear. We examined brain responses to gentle skin stroking, a type of tactile stimulus associated with affectionate touch, in young infants. Thirteen term-born infants aged 11-36days, recruited through the FinnBrain Birth Cohort Study...
متن کاملMassage-like stroking boosts the immune system in mice
Recent clinical evidence suggests that the therapeutic effect of massage involves the immune system and that this can be exploited as an adjunct therapy together with standard drug-based approaches. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms behind these effects exploring the immunomodulatory function of stroking as a surrogate of massage-like therapy in mice. C57/BL6 mice were stroked daily...
متن کاملGenetic Identification of an Expansive Mechanoreceptor Sensitive to Skin Stroking
Touch perception begins with activation of low-threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs) in the periphery. LTMR terminals exhibit tremendous morphological heterogeneity that specifies their mechanical receptivity. In a survey of mammalian skin, we found a preponderance of neurofilament-heavy-chain(+) circumferential endings associated with hair follicles, prompting us to develop a genetic strategy to ...
