Massage therapy has been reported to reduce state anxiety, stress hormonal levels and depressive symptoms in diverse populations. However, the neural mechanisms by which massage might impart therapeutic-like effects have yet to be determined. In the present neuroimaging study, we investigated the impact of different forms of tactile stimulation on neural activity in healthy participants. In this regard, Swedish massage and reflexology were associated with substantially less neuronal activation during the course of the scanner session. These data suggest that tactile stimulation, as provided by different types of massage, may dampen the normal levels of activation in several brain regions important for mood and arousal (e.g. cingulate gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus). Further investigation is ultimately required to understand the long-term mechanisms by which touch operates at a neural level and how massage therapy might have a beneficial role as an adjunct treatment for mood disorders in clinical populations.
