Traditional counseling programs have demonstrated some success; however, novel approaches that target stressas a mechanism in the maintenance of addiction would be valuable.Objective: To examine the role of stress in addiction and the utility of massage therapy to decrease stress during pregnancy.Conclusion: Preliminary evidence suggests massage therapy may be beneficial to decreasing tobacco use, and research in pregnant populations is needed. |
