About this study

Reflexology has been used in different respiratory tract infections on pulmonary function tests in patients with asthma, with some success. It has also been tested in newborns with respiratory distress syndrome, where it has decreased respiratory rate. Whole body massage was found to be helpful in newborns with opioid withdrawal syndrome. It has been shown to be a safe treatment and well tolerated even among very young infants.

Therefore, the investigators decided to evaluate effect of reflexology treatment in patients with viral bronchiolitis.
