This research is quasi-experimental. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of massage oil from Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash Extract with court-type Thai traditional massage before and after treatment on the tension of the upper back muscles. The sample group consisted of volunteers aged 18–50 years. Through a specific purposive sampling under specified conditions, 30 people will receive a Thai traditional massage with applied Thai traditional medicine from a registered professional practitioner for 45 minutes each time, three times a week. The research tool was a questionnaire consisting of a pain rating scale and a tissue stiffness record. The results of the study were used for descriptive statistical analysis, and the relationship was compared by a paired T-test. The research results found that most of the subjects were female (73.33%, aged 29–39 years). The mean pain level after treatment decreased (2.27±0.45) compared with the mean pain level before treatment (5.97±0.67). From 1 to 3 times, the mean pain level decreased for each time compared to the previous
time, which was statistically significant at the level of .05. In addition, the mean score of tissue stiffness after treatment was significantly decreased at the .05 level from the reduction of pain level and decreased tissue stiffness scores. It can be concluded that Thai traditional massage combined with massage oil from Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash Extract can relieve and treat patients with upper back muscle pain. This is preliminary information to support the choice of court-type Thai traditional massage combined with the use of massage oil from Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash Extract, which is effective in clinical treatment.
