摘要

背景:头痛是影响全球不同人群的普遍健康问题,促使人们对足底反射疗法等辅助疗法的兴趣与日俱增。本综述旨在全面评估足底反射疗法作为治疗头痛的辅助方法的潜力:方法:采用系统方法,在数据库中搜索有关足底反射疗法治疗头痛疗效的研究。从 23 项初步候选研究中,我们对符合纳入标准的三项研究(两项随机对照试验和一项试点研究)的疗效和质量进行了审查:我们的综述重点介绍了三项主要研究,这些研究共同表明,与对照组相比,足底反射疗法组的疗效显著提高。这些研究结果表明,足底反射疗法作为一种有效的辅助疗法,具有治疗头痛的潜力。不过,鉴于这些令人鼓舞的结果,我们还是建议采取更加谨慎的方法。我们迫切需要进行更严格、更高质量的研究,以便在实际环境和应用中证实这些结果:结论:足底反射疗法是头痛治疗领域的一种选择。虽然其疗效令人鼓舞,但其作用背后的具体机制仍需进一步研究。在一系列治疗方法中,足底反射疗法是一种安全、非侵入性的替代疗法。这篇综述强调了进行更多研究的必要性,鼓励科学界深入研究这一缓解头痛的有趣方法,并扩大我们对其潜在优势的理解。

Exploring the Efficacy of Plantar Reflexology as a Complementary Approach for Headache Management: A Comprehensive Review.

Background: Headaches are a prevalent health issue affecting diverse populations worldwide, driving a growing interest in complementary therapies like reflexology. This review aims to comprehensively evaluate the potential of plantar reflexology as a complementary approach for managing headaches.

Methods: Employing a systematic approach, databases were scoured for studies on plantar reflexology's efficacy in headache management. From 23 initial contenders, three studies meeting the inclusion criteria, two randomized controlled trials and a pilot study, were examined for treatment efficacy and quality.

Results: Our review highlights three primary studies, collectively indicating a significant enhancement in treatment efficacy within the plantar reflexology groups when compared to control groups. These findings suggest that plantar reflexology exhibits potential as an effective complementary therapy for managing headaches. However, in light of these promising results, a more cautious approach is advisable. There is a pressing need for more rigorous and high-quality research to substantiate these outcomes in real-world contexts and applications.

Conclusion: Plantar reflexology emerges as an option within the field of headache management. While its efficacy is promising, the specific mechanisms behind its action require further investigation. Positioned among a range of treatment modalities, plantar reflexology distinguishes itself as a safe and non-invasive alternative. This review underscores the necessity for additional research, encouraging the scientific community to delve into this intriguing avenue for headache relief and expand our comprehension of its potential advantages.
