Electrical brain activity in children treated with reflexotherapy

Attention Deficit Attention Deficit Disorders are a risk group because of their wide comorbidity due to behavioural, learning and social disorders. As an alternative treatment there is foot reflex zone therapy. Due to the lack of electroencephalographic markers that distinguish these children and the lack of information on the electrophysiological manifestations that occur with the application of this technique, this pre-experimental study was carried out to compare the quantitative electroencephalographic characteristics in this condition before and during the application of reflexology. During the technique, the absolute powers showed a highly significant increase in energy for the slow bands. The presence of slow activity whose topography coincides with the areas of behavioural control and an increase in energy for the slow bands during the sessions was observed.
