Abstract:
Foot reflexology is a non-invasive complementary therapy that is increasingly being accepted by modern people in recent years. To understand the research trends and prospects of foot reflexology in the past 31 years, this study used the Web of Science core collection as the data source and two visualization tools, COOC and VOSviewer, to analyze the literature related to the field of foot reflexology from 1991 to 2021. This study found that the number of articles published in the field of foot reflexology has been increasing year by year, and the top three journals with the most articles are Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, Therapies in Medicine, and the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. The top three most prolific authors are Wyatt, Sikorskii, and Victorson, and the core institutions in the field of foot reflexology are Michigan State University, Northwestern University, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, and the University of Exeter. Foot reflexology has been shown to have a moderating effect on anxiety, fatigue, and cancer, and is a topic of ongoing and future research. This study uses this bibliometric analysis of foot reflexology literature to provide an overview of prior knowledge and a reference direction for modern preventive medicine.

Abstract:
Background and aims: The purpose of this quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study was to determine the effectiveness of reflexology on self-reported back pain compared to placebo (massage) and control among cricketers. Methods: The volunteer participants consisted of 45 male cricket players who had been training at least for three years with a mean age of 18.481±2.32 years, mean body mass of 64.31±7.65, mean height of 174±5.39 cm, and a mean body mass index of 21.07± 1.97 kg/m². Cricketers were trained at Chandigarh and Mohali (India) cricket stadiums and participated in Interstate competition 2017. Cricketers were randomly assigned to reflexology, placebo, and control treatment groups. The reflexology group received topical pressure applied to their feet using a specific reflex area believed to have an effect on back pain. In addition, the placebo group received a foot massage avoiding reflexology area and control group received back pain information. Pre- and post-treatment interviews were conducted after one week (7 sessions). Each treatment was administered for 15 minutes as well. To determine the degree of the effect of reflexology on back pain, multiple regressions, and the factorial ANOVA and ANCOVA were used to analyze the hypotheses. Results: Both reflexology (P<0.001) and massage (P<0.001) treatments resulted in reducing the pain compared to providing back pain information, and there were significant differences between the reflexology and placebo groups (P<0.001). Finally, the results indicated that reflexology may have a positive effect on back pain. Conclusion: Overall, foot reflexology, as an avenue for human touch, can be performed anywhere, requires no special equipment, is noninvasive, and does not interfere with patients’ privacy. However, an adequately powered trial is required before any more definitive pronouncements are possible.

Abstract:
Objectives: Reflexology is a popular type of complementary medicine in medical practices, especially in midwifery fields. Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the effect of foot reflexology on idiopathic constipation symptoms, as well as anxiety and fetal activity during pregnancy. This study was conducted on seventy-four nulliparous women with constipation, referring to private and public health care centers in Tabriz-Iran, between 2017 and 2018. The participants were then randomly assigned to foot reflexology or control groups. The intervention group underwent 12 minutes of weekly foot reflexology treatment for 6 weeks. Constipation symptoms were measured at baseline and 6 times (weekly) after the intervention by the Constipation Assessment Scale (CAS). In addition, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire was used to measure the participant’s anxiety at baseline and 6 weeks after the completion of the study. Finally, fetal movements were measured at baseline and 6 times (weekly) after the intervention using a kick chart. Results: Based on the results, 97% of women reported improvement in their CAS measures at the end of six weeks following reflexology. The mean scores of STAI at the end of the intervention were 38.5 and 42.2 (State anxiety), as well as 39.1 and 40.2 (Trait anxiety) in the reflexology and control groups, respectively. Statistically significant differences in fetal movements between the two groups were only observed in the fourth (P=0.001) and fifth weeks (P=0.007) after intervention sessions. The results further indicated that about 67% of mothers were satisfied with reflexology intervention for improvement in their constipation symptoms. Eventually, no harmful side events were reported among women. Conclusions: Short-term foot reflexology in this context may have potential healing benefits in improving constipation and anxiety symptoms during pregnancy. However, further investigation for antenatal reflexology is necessary.

Abstract:
Published Article
According to Wills reflexology entails the division of the body into ten zones, concentrating on the pressure points on the feet, with each foot representing five zones (2006: Online). Colour therapy uses the vibrational frequencies of colour to restore the client's health. Colour zone therapy on the other hand, is a combination of reflexology and colour therapy. Zone refers to the working of key points on the feet, where colour refers to the assessment of the condition and treating it with the correct colour's frequency (Gimbel, 1993: 2-3). Reflexology uses a physical stimulus and colour therapy, emotional stimulus, thus colour zone therapy addresses both. In this study the researcher's objective was to investigate treatments with reflexology compared with treatments of colour zone therapy, by treating chronic sinusitis to explore the influence of colour on the outcome of reflexology treatments. Ten chronic sinusitis-suffering clients were treated with reflexology in a white cubicle. Another ten clients were treated with colour zone therapy (thus colour therapy as well as reflexology). They had indigo coloured paper in their hands. Results were obtained as case studies, with clients reporting how they felt before and after each treatment. Each client received five treatments. The results indicated that the reflexology clients did experience an improvement after the fourth treatment. By the fifth treatment three of the ten clients had discharged some mucus. However, clients treated with colour zone therapy showed results after the second treatment. At the fourth treatment, already seven of the ten colour zone therapy clients had discharged a large amount of mucus. This concludes that treating a condition with colour, in combination with another treatment provides better and quicker results.

Abstract:
Two thirds of pregnant women experience low back pain and one fifth experience pelvic pain, which can adversely affect daily lives. Reflexology may be helpful for general low back pain. Therefore, the aim of this research was , to investigate reflexology for the management of low back and/ or pelvic pain (LBPP) during pregnancy. Ninety primiparous women, were randomised to receive usual care, six reflexology or footbath treatments. Primary outcome measures were the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain frequency and intensity. Saliva samples were analysed for beta endorphin and cortisol concentration. Heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), intervention expectations and satisfaction and labour duration were recorded. Sixty-four women completed the trial. Adherence to the reflexology, usual care and footbath groups were 80%, 83.33% and 50% respectively. The reflexology group demonstrated a Mean Clinically Important Change in VAS pain frequency (1.64cm). Second stage of labour was significantly shorter (p=O.05) in the reflexology group compared to usual care (44.3 minutes). Beta endorphin and cortisol were reduced along with a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (p=O.03) in the reflexology group but an increase in diastolic blood pressure (p=O.Ol) was observed in the footbath group. Reflexology was more helpful than footbaths (p=O.OOl), however, treatment satisfaction in both groups was high (p=O.07). Findings indicate a fully powered RCT in this area is feasible; however, a footbath is not a suitable sham treatment. The results suggest that reflexology acted to reduce pain, disrupting the cycle of pain and stress, leading to a reduction in BP, cortisol and beta endorphin. It is likely that reflexology acts by deactivating the HPA axis and sympathetic function and enhances the vagal pathways, having an overall effect on the psychoneuroimmunological functioning. Reflexology may be helpful for managing pregnancy related LBPP, by reducing physiological and psychological stress and enhancing positive emotions.

Abstract:
Reflexology is one of the top six complementary therapies used in the UK. Reflexologists claim that massage to specific points of the feet increases blood supply to referred or 'mapped' organs in the body. Empirical evidence to validate this claim is scarce. This three-phase RCT measured changes in haemodynamic parameters in subjects receiving reflexology treatment applied to specific areas of the foot which are thought to correspond to the heart (intervention) compared with reflexology applied to other areas on the foot which are not (control).

Abstract:
Background The incidence of hypertension is increasing in developing countries such as Thailand (Chaiteerapan et al 1997; Ministry of Public Health 2001; National Library of Thailand Cataloguing in Publication Data 2001) as a result of sociological, political and economic changes. These changes are producing enormous alterations in people�s lifestyles, following similar trends in western countries (National Economic and Social Development Board 1997). Negative changes in food consumption, alcohol consumption, level of physical activity, smoking, stress and tension have led to an increase in chronic health problems for Thai people (National Economic and Social Development Board 1997). Age, gender, ethnicity, genetic background, family health history and hyperlipidaemia are likely to influence hypertension (Kaplan, Lieberman & Neal 2002; Mancia et al 2002; Manger & Gifford 2001; National Heart Foundation of Australia 2003). It has been found that health care professionals and patients with chronic disease have increased their use of complementary therapies to help relieve uncomfortable symptoms and suffering (Long, Huntley & Ernst 2001). Foot reflexology is a well known complementary therapy which claims to help the body achieve homeostasis (Byers 2001; Dougans 2002). It is believed that pressing specific areas on the feet related to specific glands or organs of the body can help these glands and organs to function at their peak, allowing the body to heal itself (Byers 2001; Dougans 2002). The principle difference between massage or touch and foot reflexology is that foot reflexology provides not only the relaxation effect obtained from massage or touch is said to also improve body�s immunity contributing to healing process (Byers 2001;Dougans 2002). Foot reflexology has been scientifically researched in many studies to explore the claimed benefits (Bishop 2003; Kohara et al 2004; Oleson & Flocco 1993; Siev-Ner et al 2003; Yang 2005). Some studies have supported its ability to reduce anxiety and pain (Gambles, Crooke & Wilkinson 2002; Launso, Brendstrup & Arnberg 1999; Stephenson, Dalton & Carlson 2003; Stephenson, Weinrich & Tavakoli 2000). However, there has been little scientific evidence to support the claim that foot reflexology can reduce blood pressure and serum lipids, and can improve the quality of life in patients with hypertension (Hodgson 2000; Milligan et al 2002; Park & Cho 2004). The purpose of this study was to begin to fill this gap by investigating the influence of foot reflexology on blood pressure, serum lipids and quality of life. Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of foot reflexology on reducing blood pressure in patients with hypertension. To this end, patients receiving reflexology were compared with patients receiving a light foot massage, thus controlling for any effects contributed by massage or touch alone. Null hypotheses 1. There is no difference in mean blood pressure level between the foot reflexology group and the light foot massage group at the end of four weeks of treatment. 2. There is no difference in mean low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglyceride levels between the foot reflexology group and the light foot massage group at the end of four weeks of treatment.3. There is no difference in mean quality of life scores between the foot reflexology group and the light foot massage group at the end of four weeks of treatment. Sample A sample size of 128 was required to yield a power of 80%, if the difference in mean diastolic blood pressure between the two groups was 5 mmHg. One hundred twenty eight patients with hypertension who attended the hypertensive clinic in the medical outpatients department of Phramongkutklao Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand were enrolled and participated in the study. Methods Data collection This study used a randomized controlled trial design. Participants were randomly allocated into one of two groups � 64 participants in the foot reflexology group (intervention) and 64 in the light foot massage group (control). Data collection took place over 4� months between 26 July and 9 December 2004. Ethics approval was obtained from both the university and hospital ethics committees. Prior to randomization, participants were asked to complete a demographic data questionnaire and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOLBREF) (World Health Organization 1996) questionnaire. Blood was drawn to test LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Using an intervention protocol based on previous literature (Byers 2001), participants in the foot reflexology group received their usual medical treatment and a 50-minute foot reflexology treatment twice a week for four weeks. Participants in the light foot massage group received their usualmedical treatment and a 30-minute light foot massage session without pressure on specific reflexology areas twice a week for four weeks. Blood pressure was recorded before and after each treatment. At the end of the study, participants were asked to complete the WHOQOL-BREF (World Health Organization 1996) again and blood was once more drawn to test LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Data analysis An independent samples t-test followed by analysis of covariance was used to test for difference in mean diastolic blood pressure between treatment groups both unadjusted and adjusted for baseline values respectively. Descriptive statistics were used to present the demographic data. Results Demographic data Control and intervention groups were similar in gender, age, educational background, economic factors, lifestyle characteristics, co-morbidities and medical treatments. Demographic data which were substantially different between groups were marital status, the length of time experiencing hypertension and the length of time having treatment for hypertension. The study showed that fewer participants in the foot reflexology group (57.8%) were married than in the light foot massage group (70.3%). The foot reflexology group also had a higher rate (32.8%) of �divorced/separated/widowed� compared with the light foot massage group (20.3%). Participants in the light foot massage group had almost nine times the number of participants who had had hypertension for more than 15 years, and almost eight times the number of participants who had been having treatment for hypertension for more than 15 years, compared with those in the foot reflexology group. Outcome variables For both the unadjusted and adjusted analyses, there was no statistically significant difference between treatment groups post-intervention. Conclusions The results from this study did not support the claim that foot reflexology can decrease blood pressure, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Similarly, there was no evidence that it could improve the quality of life in patients with hypertension.

Abstract:
This is an integrative literature review of the utilisation of reflexology as complementary and alternative treatment modality in adults with chronic disease. Anecdotal evidence has claimed potential health benefits of reflexology for patients with various chronic diseases. In this study, selected databases that were accessible were searched using keywords such as reflexology therapy, zone therapy and combinations thereof. Databases such as SA Nexus, SAePublications, ProQuest, Web of Knowledge, EBSCOhost Platform, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library and Google Advanced Scholar were searched for primary studies and reviews of primary studies from 2000 until the end of 2008 (N = 1171). Primary experimental and non-experimental studies in any language with an abstract in English were identified. Only studies that complied with the inclusion criteria were reviewed and appraised (n = 35) for study quality with appropriate tools from the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) and the American Dietetic Association's (ADA) Evidence analysis manual. Evidence extraction, analysis and synthesis were done to review available evidence by means of the evidence class rating and evidence grading of strength prescribed in the ADA's manual. Study findings represent a statistical significant reduction in the frequency of seizures of patients with intractable epilepsy, an improvement of sensory and urinary symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis and a clinical significant reduction of pain and anxiety in patients with cancer and fibromyalgia syndrome to increase overall well-being and quality of life. No statistical significant evidence was reported on benefits of reflexology for irritable bowel syndrome, menopausal symptoms, chronic low back pain and asthma. Thus there appears to be fair evidence of the effectiveness of reflexology, in addition clinical evidence supports the utilisation of reflexology to promote well-being and quality of life in adults with chronic disease.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Hypertension is significantly associated with increased morbidity and mortality of cerebrovascular diseases, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure and renal insufficiency. Hypertension is a major public health problem and an important research area due to its high prevalence and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and other complications. This study aimed to determine the effect of foot reflexology therapy on lowering blood pressure in elderly people suffering from hypertension in the working area of Sekupang community health center, Batam City. Subjects and Method: This study was an experiment with a pretest – posttest control group design. A sample of 15 elderlies was selected by simple random probability sampling. The dependent variable was elderly with hypertension. The independent variable was foot reflexology therapy. The data obtained from this study were the values of pre and post therapy blood pressure between the control group and the treatment group. The data was analyzed by Wilcoxon test. Results: After the intervention of foot reflexology was carried out, foot reflexology affected reducing headache intensity (Mean= 2; SD= 0.52) and it was statistically significant (p= 0.002). When compared to the control group that was not given therapy, indicating that pain intensity tended to increase with statistical results (Mean = 2.33; SD= 0.69) obtained (Z score = -2.64) with p = 0.008. Conclusion: Reducing the intensity of headaches and able to lower blood pressure in older people with hypertension.

Abstract:
Objectives. To assess benefits and harms of nonpharmacological and pharmacological interventions for breathlessness in adults with advanced cancer. Data sources. We searched PubMed®, Embase®, CINAHL®, ISI Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials through early May 2020. Review methods. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies with a comparison group evaluating benefits and/or harms, and cohort studies reporting harms. Two reviewers independently screened search results, serially abstracted data, assessed risk of bias, and graded strength of evidence (SOE) for key outcomes: breathlessness, anxiety, health-related quality of life, and exercise capacity. We performed meta-analyses when possible and calculated standardized mean differences (SMDs). Results. We included 48 RCTs and 2 retrospective cohort studies (4,029 patients). The most commonly reported cancer types were lung cancer and mesothelioma. The baseline level of breathlessness varied in severity. Several nonpharmacological interventions were effective for breathlessness, including fans (SMD -2.09 [95% confidence interval (CI) -3.81 to -0.37]) (SOE: moderate), bilevel ventilation (estimated slope difference -0.58 [95% CI -0.92 to -0.23]), acupressure/reflexology, and multicomponent nonpharmacological interventions (behavioral/psychoeducational combined with activity/rehabilitation and integrative medicine). For pharmacological interventions, opioids were not more effective than placebo (SOE: moderate) for improving breathlessness (SMD -0.14 [95% CI -0.47 to 0.18]) or exercise capacity (SOE: moderate); most studies were of exertional breathlessness. Different doses or routes of administration of opioids did not differ in effectiveness for breathlessness (SOE: low). Anxiolytics were not more effective than placebo for breathlessness (SOE: low). Evidence for other pharmacological interventions was limited. Opioids, bilevel ventilation, and activity/rehabilitation interventions had some harms compared to usual care. Conclusions. Some nonpharmacological interventions, including fans, acupressure/reflexology, multicomponent interventions, and bilevel ventilation, were effective for breathlessness in advanced cancer. Evidence did not support opioids or other pharmacological interventions within the limits of the identified studies. More research is needed on when the benefits of opioids may exceed harms for broader, longer term outcomes related to breathlessness in this population.
