During and after treatment many falls asleep, which is a sign of relaxation and that contributes to a better quality of full sleep. Physical contact also contributes to the improvement of everyday pain.People with behavioral symptoms should be given physical touch gently, during communication and observation and everyone's individual needs must be taken care of. A physical action gives comfort in the form of confirmation. It creates feelings of thoughtfulness and pleasure for example.Oxytocin, that is important for the wellbeing, gets released by human touch.
