“…All studies reviewed stated they were randomized, whether or not this is true remains uncertain as eight studies did not show their content and method of random sequencing [ 7 , 41 – 47 ]. A small proportion of studies were low risk due to the state of detailed randomization and allocation methods [ 20 , 48 – 52 ]. Most studies yielded no data material on bias concealment.…”

“…The sixteen studies [ 45 – 48 , 50 , 52 – 62 ] examined anxiety as the primary outcome following foot reflexology intervention by using different anxiety outcome measurement tools such as the hospital anxiety and depression scale; depression, anxiety, and stress scale-21; State-Trait Anxiety Inventory; and Visual Analogue Scale of Anxiety and were included in our meta-analysis. Hedges' g for the overall effect size was −1.237, and the 95% CI was −1.682 to −0.791 ( Figure 4 ).…”

Objectives. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review, meta-analysis, and metaregression to determine the current best available evidence of the efficacy and safety of foot reflexology for adult depression, anxiety, and sleep quality. Methods. Electronic databases (PubMed, ClinicalKey, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library) were searched till August, 10, 2020, and the validity of the eligible studies was critically appraised. Randomized controlled trials comparing foot reflexology groups with control groups for adult depression, anxiety, and sleep quality were included. Twenty-six eligible studies were included to assess the effect of foot reflexology intervention on the reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety and improving quality of sleep, respectively, as the primary outcome. Results. Twenty-six randomized controlled trials involving 2,366 participants met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analyses showed that foot reflexology intervention significantly improved adult depression (Hedges’ g = −0.921; 95% CI: −1.246 to −0.595; P < 0.001), anxiety (Hedges’ g = −1.237; 95% CI −1.682 to −0.791; P < 0.001), and sleep quality (Hedges’ g = −1.665; 95% CI −2.361 to −0.970; P < 0.001). Metaregression reveals that an increase in total foot reflexology time (P = 0.002) and duration (P = 0.01) can significantly improve sleep quality. Conclusions. Foot reflexology may provide additional nonpharmacotherapy intervention for adults suffering from depression, anxiety, or sleep disturbance. However, high quality and rigorous design RCTs in specific population, along with an increase in participants, and a long-term follow-up are recommended in the future.

A bstract Background Sleep disorders occur in the first days after heart surgery. One of the major causes of sleep disorders after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is subsequent changes in physiological indicators, such as systolic blood pressure (BP), respiratory rate (RR), saturation of oxygen (O 2 ), and heart rate (RR). This study is aimed to determine the effect of lavender aromatherapy on patients’ sleep quality and physiological indicators after CABG. Materials and methods This study was a randomized clinical trial. Patients after CABG surgery were randomly allocated into the lavender and distilled water groups. Patients in the intervention group inhaled lavender while those in the control group inhaled distilled water for 10 hours. Sleep quality and physiological postoperative data were collected for 3 days. Data were analyzed using repeated measurement test, sample t -test, and Chi-square test. Results Repeated measurement test showed no significant difference between the lavender and distilled water groups in terms of systolic BP, RR, O 2 saturation, HR, and body temperature after matching the effect of time and its interactive effect with the intervention ( p > 0.05). This test revealed a significant difference between the lavender and distilled water groups in terms of sleep quality ( p < 0.001), such that the sleep quality was higher in the lavender group. Conclusion Lavender aromatherapy can increase patients’ sleep quality after CABG surgery. However, it cannot completely treat sleep disorders in such patients. Furthermore, aromatherapy with lavender does not affect the physiological parameters, such as HR, BP, RR, and O 2 saturation. How to cite this article Davari H, Ebrahimian A, Rezayei S, Tourdeh M.
