Synopsis:

 
  22 cases, both male and female, under 2 years old with infantile intussusception along with diarrhea, paroxysmal abdominal pain, restlessness, pale complexion, sweating, vomiting and jam-like bloody stools, were given 20-30 minutes of foot reflexology daily focusing on the abdominal reflexes. Results: 21 cases were relieved and one had surgery.

Conclusion:

 
 

Foot reflexology, in conjunction with tuina, was found to be mostly effective for the relief of infantile intussusceptions, or twisting of the bowel.
