Specific Effect of Foot Reflexology on Diaphragm Function
Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse
Summary
Diaphragm dysfunction, are refractory to drug therapy. This encourage investigators to explore new non-drug therapeutic paths, such as plantar reflexology (RP). The investigators proposed a comparison of the evolution of different parameters, quantitative and qualitative, to identify biomarkers and highlight the specific effect of RP on the diaphragm function, compared to placebo.
