TRUJILLO HUBER, José Carlos; PEREIRA DESPAIGNE, Olga Lidia; JACAS GARCIA, Caridad  e  GARCIA DIAZ, Reina de la Caridad. Effectiveness of the Su-Jok therapy in patients with pain due to heel spur. MEDISAN [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.10, pp. 2258-2266. ISSN 1029-3019.

A therapeutic intervention was carried out in 128 randomly selected patients with pain due to heel spur, who were treated in the Rehabilitation Department of "Orlando Pantoja Tamayo" Teaching General Hospital in Contramaestre municipality, Santiago de Cuba province, from January, 2014 to April, 2015, with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of the Su-Jok therapy. Two groups were formed: a control group which received conventional treatment, and a study group, in which the Su-Jok therapy was applied. After the statistical analysis was carried out by means of the homogeneity and hypothesis tests of homogeneity of Χ2 and the means differences (both techniques with a permissible error of 5%), it could be concluded that the Su-Jok therapy is effective to mitigate the pain due to heel spur, so it was recommended to promote it taking into account its easy use and low cost

Palavras-chave : heel spur; evaluation of pain; Su-Jok therapy; Korean traditional medicine; rehabilitation department.
