Aromaterapi uygulamasında lavanta, greyfurt, zencefil, badem, portakal gibi yağlar kullanılmıştır. Çalışmalarda aromaterapi, inhaler veya masaj şeklinde topikal olarak uygulanmıştır. İncelenen çalışmaların tasarımı ön-test-son-test, deneysel ve randomize kontrollü çalışmalar şeklindedir. Sonuç: Yapılan çalışmalar, aromaterapinin inhaler veya masaj uygulaması fark etmeksizin, ağrı, uyku kalitesi, yaşam kalitesi, ajitasyon, anksiyete, depresyon gibi semptomlar üzerine olumlu etkisi olduğunu göstermiştir.
