Synopsis:

	A color doppler sonography was used to view blood flow changes in the right kidney while foot reflexology was done in a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized study. A significant decrease of the resistive flow in renal vessels and an increase of renal blood flow was noted.

Conclusion:

	Foot reflexology was found to be effective for changing renal blood flow during therapy.
