CRD SUMMARY: This review included studies of massage therapy in children and adults with cystic fibrosis and other lung conditions. The authors concluded that there is preliminary evidence supporting the use of massage therapy in young people and adults with lung conditions. The small number of studies found and their methodological limitations mean that the authors' conclusions may not be reliable.
