A recent randomized controlled trial explored the impact of foot reflexology on postoperative recovery in children.
๐ฌ Key findings:
The study found that foot reflexology applied after surgery helped:
โจ Reduce postoperative pain
โจ Influence vital signs including blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiratory rate
These results highlight the potential of foot reflexology as a gentle, non-invasive supportive approach that may contribute to comfort and physiological regulation in pediatric postoperative settings, when used alongside standard medical care.
