La terapia de masajes ha sido eficaz para varios aspectos del desarrollo y para afecciones cl\u00ednicas durante la infancia y la ni\u00f1ez. La mayor\u00eda de los estudios en todo el mundo (205 r\u00e9plicas hasta la fecha) han evaluado los efectos de la terapia de masajes en el aumento de peso en beb\u00e9s prematuros. Otros efectos importantes para dichos beb\u00e9s incluyen el rendimiento en la Escala de Evaluaci\u00f3n del Comportamiento Neonatal de Brazelton y una mayor densidad \u00f3sea. Tambi\u00e9n se han observado efectos positivos de la terapia de masajes en beb\u00e9s a t\u00e9rmino, incluida una menor irritabilidad y una mejor calidad del sue\u00f1o. La mayor\u00eda de los estudios sobre terapia de masajes con ni\u00f1os se han centrado en afecciones cl\u00ednicas, incluidos trastornos por d\u00e9ficit de atenci\u00f3n (TEA y TDAH), problemas psiqui\u00e1tricos (depresi\u00f3n, trastorno de conducta, agresi\u00f3n), s\u00edndromes de dolor (ARJ, fibromialgia), enfermedades cr\u00f3nicas (diabetes, asma) y disfunci\u00f3n inmunitaria (VIH y c\u00e1ncer). Los masajes han sido proporcionados eficazmente a estos ni\u00f1os por sus padres como parte del ritual antes de dormir. A su vez, los padres se han beneficiado al dar los masajes. Los posibles mecanismos subyacentes han incluido la estimulaci\u00f3n de los receptores de presi\u00f3n que conducen a una mayor actividad vagal, una disminuci\u00f3n del cortisol y un aumento de la hormona del crecimiento y de las c\u00e9lulas asesinas naturales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
