ARANDA IZQUIERDO, Angel Antonio; BARRANCO PEREGRINO, Belkis; SERRANO GONZALEZ, Luisa María  y  BARCIELA CALDERON, Julio. Efficacy of the podal reflexology in the treatment of the cervical pain. AMC [online]. 2007, vol.11, n.2. ISSN 1025-0255.

A phase II clinical trial, sequential, open, not controlled and unicentric in 47 patients was carried out, with cervical pain diagnosis attended in the orthopaedics external consultation at the Provincial Clinic of Traditional and Natural Medicine of Camagüey, from January to September 2002, with the objective to determine the efficacy of the podal reflexology as election treatment. It is verified that podal reflexology turned out to be efficient in the majority of the sample by pain disappearance and the accompanying symptoms. The most significant modification of these symptoms was determined, according to sessions of treatment occurring in the third, sixth and ninth session for the vertigo, pain and muscular contraction respectively. No adverse reactions were reported.

Palabras clave : neck pain [therapy]; physical therapy modalities.
