The Effect of Reflexology Therapy on a Patient Suffering from Tremor Syndrome

Background: Reflexology is one of the oldest, most well-known and proven treatment methods in the field of complementary medicine. In this case, reflexology was used to reduce the number of vibrations in a patient suffering from tremor syndrome. Methods: This study was conducted over a period of nine months, with sessions held once a week. The patient followed a test protocol in which she recorded the number of tremors in the morning, afternoon and evening at fixed times every day of the week, both before and after treatment. Results: A significant improvement in tremors was observed between the start and end of the treatment period (p<0.005, SD = 0.29). Conclusions: The results were significant, showing optimal improvement in the tremors and the patient's overall condition. Additionally, an improvement in motor function was observed. In conclusion, reflexology can improve tremors without the need for drug treatment.
