| Core Tip |
Most of the previous studies on foot reflexology have been systematic reviews, with mixed results. There has been one case report that foot reflexology can treat sensory-hearing loss, which provides objective imaging evidence to increase its credibility. However, the number of included studies is too small, and a large sample randomized controlled trial is needed to further study the mechanism of foot reflexology to prove its effectiveness. |
