| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of the present study was to use physiological/psychological indicators to investigate the effects of tactile massage in the mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder. Under fixed room conditions, the hands of some of the 17 subjects were treated with the “tactile” procedure for 20 minutes on the first day and with the “resting” procedure for 20 minutes on the next day, while the others were treated with the “resting” on the first day and the “tactile” on the next day. Salivary cortisol concentration, salivary secretory IgA concentration, and heart rate variable frequency range analysis were used as physiological indicators, while STAI and POMS were used as psychological indicators. Our results revealed no marked differences in physiological indicators between subjects treated with the “tactile” procedure and “resting” procedure. However, tactile massage treatment led to significant improvements in the anxiety and mood psychological indicators.
