Medical applications of Reflexology:: Findings in Research about Cancer Care https://amzn.eu/d/3J2QpNY

How much reflexology technique application is needed to create a particular result? One of the benefits of research is such “dosing” information. 

The value of such information is seen for cancer patients in research by pioneering researcher Dr. Nancy Stephenson of Eastern North Carolina University. In one of her studies a single session reflexologist administered of thirty minutes was found to be the dosing time to significantly decrease pain and anxiety for  breast and lung cancer patient. In a ground breaking study for partner delivered reflexology, Dr. Stephenson found patients receiving thirty minutes sessions administered three times a week at home by a partner experienced a significant decrease in pain intensity (37%) and anxiety (62%).

Among information detailed in Medical Applications Reflexology: Findings in Research about Cancer Care on page 28 is the protocol followed in Dr. Stephenson’s partner delivered reflexology research.
