The effect of Kneipp treatment hydrotherapy on secretory IgA in young children: a controlled, non-randomized clinical pilot study.

CONCLUSION: Due to the pilot character of this study, home hydrotherapy (Kneipp arm affusions) in healthy children is feasible but did not influence sIgA levels. The influence on infections of the respiratory tract after the intervention phase should be interpreted carefully. In qualitative interviews, parents described less susceptibility to infections of the respiratory tract by their children. PMID: 33259910 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
