All subjects in the treatment group received the same
aromatherapy with light Thai massage. This involved
a standardized massage of the head, neck, face, back,
shoulders, arms, hands, lower legs and feet with coconut
oil containing 0.05 ml of ginger oil for 45 minutes by the
same skilled therapist on three occasions over one week.Before beginning the first treatment session, a 15 minute closed skin patch test with blended oil was used on the forearm of each subject to confirm that there was no acute reaction to the oil. For the controls, only standard supportive care was used. For all subjects, the trial was conducted over a 1-week period following one of their 7-10 day cycles of chemotherapy.
