Abdominal Massage Shown To Benefit Constipation In MS

Trail results have highlighted the benefit of abdominal massage in the management of constipation - a common symptom in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). In the latest study, reporting in the International Journal of Nursing Studies, 60 people with constipation were split into two groups and given a combination of laxatives and abdominal massage, or were given laxatives alone for eight weeks. It was found that the group of people being treated with a combination of laxatives and abdominal massage had reduced severity of abdominal symptoms, including constipation and pain, than the group taking laxatives alone. The MS Society has recognised the importance of finding new ways to manage common MS symptoms such as constipation. Last year more than ÷£120,000 was spent on a project to help develop a better approach to managing a variety of bowel syndromes for people with MS and formed part of the MS Society"s Symptom Relief Research Initiative.
