薰衣草精油止痛消炎實驗研究
90位膝關節炎患者參與試驗計劃, 他們分3組:
1組使用3%薰衣草精油調的按摩油按摩, 一週3次，每次20分鐘⋯⋯
1組使用甜杏仁油按摩
1組甚麼也沒做
結果: 一星期後第1組參加者相對其他2組, 可明顯減輕關節炎的不適。但四星期後效果和其他2組分別不大。
結論: 用薰衣草精油去做香薰按摩，可改善膝關節炎患者的日常活動能力。此次實驗結果仍需繼續研究去確認。

Nasiri A1, Mahmodi MA2.
Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Knee osteoarthritis is considered as one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders which leads to joint degeneration and consequently disability in activities of daily living. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of aromatherapy massage with lavender essence on activities of daily living of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
METHODS:
This is a single-blinded, randomized clinical trial. A total of 90 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee referring to the outpatient rheumatology clinics affiliated to Birjand University of Medical Sciences were selected via convenience sampling method. The participants were randomly assigned into three groups: intervention group (aromatherapy massage with lavender essential oil), placebo group (massage with almond oil) and control group (without massage). The activities of daily living of patients was evaluated according to the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) at baseline, immediately after the intervention, 1 week, and 4 weeks after the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software version 16.
RESULTS:
The activities of daily living of patients were significantly improved immediately and 1 week after the intervention in the intervention group compared with their initial status (p < .001) and that of the control group (p < .001 and p = .03 respectively). However, 4 weeks after the intervention, there was no significant difference between the groups according to the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index (p = .95).
CONCLUSION:
Aromatherapy massage with lavender essential oil may reduce the incidence of activities of daily living disability in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. However, further studies are required to confirm findings of this study.
