During the past few decades, many research studies have been done to prove the benefits of having regular Reflexology treatments for various health conditions. In almost all of them, their findings prove that having regular Reflexology treatments for various illnesses is highly beneficial. Below are findings of some of the most recent studies:

In 2013 a study was done to investigate the efficacy of Reflexology for pain control. The study found that that reflexology produces antinociceptive effects (inhibits the sensation of pain) and suggested the possibility that reflexology may be useful on its own or as an adjunct to medication in the treatment of pain conditions in man.

A very important study, done by Michigan State University in 2012, found that reflexology helped ease some side effects from chemotherapy and hormonal therapy treatments in women being treated for metastatic breast cancer. Subsequently, Reflexology treatments are part of the services offered to oncology patients at the Dana-Faber Cancer Institute, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts.
