Examining the Effect of Foot Reflexology Massage on Seizure Frequency, Fatigue, Stress and Sleep Quality in Epilepsy Patients: Randomized Control Experimental Research
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Epilepsy is among the diseases that cause loss of neurological abilities regardless of any trauma. Reflexology is one of the complementary therapies based on activating the body's self-healing power through special hand techniques applied to the feet. It is known that there are positive changes in seizure frequency, fatigue, stress and sleep quality in epilepsy patients after reflexology. This study will be conducted to determine the effect of reflexology on seizure frequency, fatigue, stress and sleep quality in epilepsy patients.
