Evidence context

How this source is used

Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.

Investigation

Can foot reflexology treat organs through mapped reflex zones?

Supports

A small randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study of 32 healthy adults reported an acute change in renal vascular resistance during stimulation of foot zones assigned to the right kidney compared with other zones.

A small physiological signal in healthy volunteers; it did not establish treatment of kidney disease or durable therapeutic benefit.
