Summary
This study tested whether foot reflexology (a type of focused foot massage) can help people with migraines feel less pain and fatigue and improve their quality of life. 78 adults with migraines were split into two groups: one received 10 foot reflexology sessions over 5 weeks plus their usual care, while the other continued only their usual care. Researchers measured pain, fatigue, and quality of life before and after the treatment to see if the massage made a difference.
