Foot Reflexology: A Complementary Therapy for Pediatric Leukemia Patients

This study explores the potential benefits of foot reflexology as a complementary therapy for children with leukemia undergoing chemotherapy. The research investigates the impact of foot reflexology on pain and physiological responses associated with chemotherapy treatments.

A Touch of Relief: Foot Reflexology for Pain Management

The study found that foot reflexology significantly reduced pain and improved physiological indicators, such as blood pressure and heart rate, in children with leukemia undergoing chemotherapy.

This research highlights the potential of complementary therapies, like foot reflexology, to enhance the overall care of children with leukemia. It underscores the importance of integrating these therapies alongside conventional treatments to provide comprehensive support and alleviate distress associated with chemotherapy.
