BACKGROUND
Reflexology is one of complementary approaches most used by patients with breast cancer. The purpose of this article was to evaluate the effects of reflexology on managing symptoms and side effects of breast cancer treatment.
METHODS
Data sources included PubMed, CINAHL, ScienceDirect, and Scopus. The criteria were applied to 224 articles and only six articles met the criteria.
RESULTS
Four studies were randomized control trials and two were quasi-experimental designs. Sample sizes varied from 60 to 385 participants. All reflexology programs were taught by certified reflexologists. The results showed that reflexology is associated with benefits for both psychological and physical aspects. Reflexology was reported to improve quality of life, but not for depression or anxiety. It was also beneficial for reducing fatigue, nausea, and vomiting, but not for peripheral neuropathy.
CONCLUSIONS
enough high-level evidence has not been reported to confirm the effectiveness of reflexology on breast cancer symptom management.
背景
反射疗法是乳腺癌患者最常采用的补充治疗方法之一。本文旨在评估反射疗法对管理乳腺癌治疗相关症状和副作用的效果。
方法
资料来源包括 PubMed、CINAHL、ScienceDirect 和 Scopus。根据标准筛选出 224 篇文章，仅有 6 篇符合标准。
结果
4 项研究为随机对照试验，2 项为准实验设计。样本量从 60 到 385 名参与者不等。所有反射疗法课程均由认证反射疗师教授。结果表明，反射疗法对心理和生理方面都有益处。反射疗法被报道能提高生活质量，但对抑郁或焦虑无效。它还能减轻疲劳、恶心和呕吐，但对周围神经病变无效。
结论
目前还没有足够的高级别证据证实反射疗法对乳腺癌症状管理的有效性。
