Massage and reflexology for post-operative cancer cystectomy patients: Evaluation of a pilot service.
CONCLUSION: The findings of this pilot evaluation very tentatively support the benefits of cancer cystectomy patients receiving massage and/or reflexology in their acute postoperative recovery period. There are many limitations to this evaluation. Further research utilising a randomised control methodology alongside medical, independent markers is warranted, and currently in development.
