Project Summary/Abstract
The exact mechanisms by which light stroking and deep pressure – components of massage therapy – induce
pleasantness and pain modulation are not understood. Given the frequent use of massage therapy for relaxation
and pain relief, and the need for complementary tools for chronic pain, there is a critical need to study the…
