A randomised controlled study of reflexology for the management of chronic low back pain
2007, European Journal of PainCitation Excerpt :Thus the current study does not indicate that adding reflexology to usual GP care for the management of CLBP is any more effective than usual GP care alone. Following the treatment phase there was a trend towards greater pain reduction in the reflexology group, but this was not significantly different to the changes experienced in the other two groups, nor was it indicative of clinically significant change on the SF36 pain dimension (Lansky et al., 1992; Ruta et al., 1994; Ware and Sherbourne, 1992; MacPherson et al., 1999). These findings highlight a strength of the pragmatic trial and provide a partial explanation for the previous anecdotal and case study evidence which suggests reflexology is beneficial in reducing pain and anxiety (e.g. Stevenson et al., 2000).
