This study tested whether a specialized massage technique called 'intelligent-turtle massage' could help people with ME/CFS. Researchers compared this new technique to standard massage in 182 patients and found that the intelligent-turtle massage was better at reducing symptoms and appeared to strengthen certain immune system markers (IgA, IgM, and IgG). While the results suggest this massage method may offer benefits, it was a relatively small study from 2009.
