Summary

This study looked at whether aromatherapy (lavender oil foot massage) and reflexology (pressing specific points on the feet) could reduce pain and improve sleep in 90 children with cerebral palsy, aged 6 to 12. Children were split into three groups: aromatherapy, reflexology, or no extra treatment. The goal was to see if these gentle, non-drug therapies could make daily life better for the children and their families.
