Abstract

Osteoartritis is the most common chronic degenerative disease and a leading cause of morbidity, physical activity limitations, and decreased quality of life among the elderly. In addition, osteoartritis is often a source of chronic pain that affects both physical function and the psychological well-being of patients. This case report describes the application of back massage and warm compress therapy as non-pharmacological interventions to reduce chronic pain in older adults with osteoartritis. The interventions included pain management education, and the regular administration of back massage and warm compresses. Evaluation results showed a reduction in pain levels from 5 to 2 on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). In addition to relieving pain, the therapy also improved patient comfort and relaxation. These findings suggest that non-pharmacological therapies such as back massage and warm compresses may serve as simple and effective alternatives for managing chronic pain in osteoartritis care. It is hoped that this therapy can be continuously implemented by healthcare providers and family caregivers to support the improved quality of life of elderly individuals living with osteoartritis.
