An Exploratory Study of Reflexological Treatment of Headache
Laila Launsø DSc(Soc), Eva
Brendstrup, MSc. and Søren Arnberg, MSc
220 patients with migraine and/or tension
headache
Context • Headache is the most
frequently reported symptom among Danish adults, and studies in
various European countries indicate migraine headache prevalence
rates similar to those in Denmark.
Objective • An exploratory study of
reflexological treatment for headache was conducted from 1993 to 1994
to examine which patients with headache underwent a course of
reflexological treatment, why patients sought reflexological
treatment, what previous experience patients had with medication for
headache, and what outcomes patients experienced from reflexological
treatment.
Conclusions •
Reflexological treatment seems to improve patients' general
well-being, energy level, ability to interpret their own body
signals, and ability to understand the reasons for
headache. However, these
relationships may be due to other factors in the treatment
environment. Additional studies are necessary to determine the
proximate cause of reflexology's therapeutic benefits. (Altern Ther
