This study was a randomized controlled trial involving two groups. Sixteen individuals provided with eyestrain written informed consent for participation in the study. The intervention massage group included 8 participants, and the control group included 8 participants. The subjects performed eyestrain-inducing load work by computer input for 30 min, and the intervention was then performed. For participants in massage group, the therapist massaged the neck and shoulders, temporal region, and orbital area for 20 min. The participants in control group rested untreated for 20 min in the supine position with eyes closed. The degree of eye strain decreased (VAS) by 30.3 mm in massage group and 31.8 mm in control group; a significant decrease was observed in massage groups and control (P <0.05). The pulse decreased by 5.9 bpm in massage group and 0.1 bpm in control group; a significant decrease was noted only in group massage (P <0.05). A 20-min, comfortable massage for asthenopia syndrome has been shown to improve the degree of eyestrain.}, pages = {5--7}, title = {Study on the effectiveness of massage therapy for eyestrain syndrome}, volume = {17}, year = {2022}, yomi = {コンドウ, ヒロシ and フクシマ, マサヤ and フジイ, リョウスケ} }
