Sponsor's own description
This randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of aromatherapy and foot reflexology on pain, sleep quality, and parental satisfaction in children with cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive neurodevelopmental disorder often associated with chronic pain and sleep disturbances, which negatively affect both children and their caregivers. A total of 90 children aged 6-12 years with a confirmed diagnosis of cerebral palsy were randomly assigned to three groups: aromatherapy, reflexology, and control. The aromatherapy group received lavender oil massage applied to the feet, while the reflexology group received targeted pressure to specific reflex points on the feet. The control group did not receive any intervention. Interventions were applied over a defined period, and outcomes were measured before and after the intervention. Pain levels, sleep quality, and parental satisfaction were assessed using validated measurement tools. The findings of this study aim to provide evidence on the effectiveness of non-invasive complementary therapies in improving clinical and caregiving outcomes in children with cerebral palsy.
