METHODS: A girl was taken to North Sichuan Medical University Affiliated Hospital for a hearing screen by her parents. Her parents reported that her hearing level was the same as when she was born. The girl was diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) by a doctor in the otolaryngology department. After we introduced the foot reflexology project, the parents agreed to participate in the experiment. After 6 months of foot reflexology treatment, the hearing threshold of the girl recovered to a normal level, below 30 dB.
CONCLUSIONS: Foot reflexology should be encouraged in clinical practice and for families of infants with SNHL.
方法:一名女孩被父母带到川北医科大学附属医院进行听力检查。她的父母报告说,她的听力水平与她出生时相同。该女孩被耳鼻喉科的医生诊断为感觉神经性听力损失(SNHL)。在我们介绍了足部反射疗法项目之后,父母同意参加实验。足底反射疗法治疗6个月后,女孩的听力阈值恢复到正常水平,低于30dB。
结论:在临床实践中和SNHL婴儿家庭中,应鼓励足部反射疗法。
