Is it true that rubbing alcohol was used and might still be used in hospitals to give patients a back rub and does it lower a temperature?

I have never seen alcohol used to give a back rub. It is going to be damaging to the patients skin integrity. It will probably lower temperature, but so will cool water. So i would have to say that they wouldn't use that in hospitals to lower temperature, because there are better ways to lower temps.
