Reflexology research news ~ 11th July 2013
The NHS Local Health Board Research Ethics Committee (REC) has agreed ethical approval for the proposed application, to conduct further research into Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD).
As part of the NHS ethics approval process, once the application has been submitted you are invited to appear before the REC, a panel of 12 people, both medics and lay people, to discuss the proposal and answer any relevant questions.
Funding for the study was awarded earlier this year and terms and conditions of this require completion within 12 moths. It is anticipated that the results will be available in April 2014. We hope to reproduce the original results on a larger scale and provide a stronger foundation on which to build future studies for evidence based reflexology.
The research is being led by Cardiff Metropolitan University, funded by Tenovus cancer charity and is based on the Reflexology Lymph Drainage, researched and developed by Sally Kay.
