Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aims to evaluate the effect of foot reflexology on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in breast cancer patients. Nausea and vomiting are common side effects of chemotherapy and can negatively affect patients' comfort and quality of life. Foot reflexology is a non-invasive complementary therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet. The study will compare patients who receive foot reflexology along with standard care to those who receive standard care alone, to determine whether foot reflexology helps reduce the severity of nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy.
