By Sun Jianhua, Health station of Qianjin Clothing Factory, Shanghai
Thirty-seven men (aged 22 – 50 years) with sexual dysfunction (course of disease ranged from 3 months to 4years) were randomly assigned to two groups. One group (18) treated with daily 30-minute foot reflexology sessions, the other group (19) treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Treatments were for at least one month.
The effective rate for the group treated with foot reflexology was 94.7%; for the group treated with traditional Chinese medicine 94.4%. No statistical difference between the curative effect of these two groups was found. The authors note that foot reflexology had the advantages of being easy and inexpensive.
