You never know what you'll find until you look. Simple but true words. It wasn't until I looked at the 25 reflexology and cancer care studies by profession of researcher that I discovered an a very interesting fact: 24 of these studies were conducted by nurses (and a 25th by a group of psychoimmunologists). A further examination detailed the credibilty bestowed by nurses in charge of research-and by further extension to reflexology and reflexologists. The studies were conducted within specifications of scientific research: publication of results in professional journals (nursing or oncology); use of control groups (12 studies) or pre-test/post test methods (8 studies); as well as measurements and analyses by standard methods (e.g. the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and ANOVA respectively). Thank you, nurse researchers, for bringing to bear on reflexology the power of your profession.
