First seen Apr 11, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study looked at whether aromatherapy (lavender oil foot massage) or reflexology (pressing specific points on the feet) could reduce pain and improve sleep in 90 children with cerebral palsy, aged 6 to 12. The children were split into three groups: one got aromatherapy, one got reflexology, and one got no extra treatment. The goal was to see if these gentle, drug-free therapies could make daily life better for the kids and their families.
