Shiatsu for chronic pain in children and teens
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether Shiatsu—a gentle, hands-on therapy—can help reduce chronic, non-inflammatory pain in children and adolescents. If you or your child have had long-term pain without inflammation and are already being seen at a specific pain clinic in Tel Aviv, this trial might be a good fit.
