Foot Reflexology in Neonates With Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (NCT07549789)
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
This is a ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for a randomized controlled trial (NCT07549789) evaluating foot reflexology as an intervention in neonates diagnosed with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy who are undergoing therapeutic hypothermia. The study will compare comfort levels and physiological parameters between neonates receiving standardized foot reflexology sessions plus routine care versus routine care alone. The trial is registered with an anticipated status date of April 24, 2026.
“This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of foot reflexology on comfort levels and physiological parameters in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy undergoing therapeutic hypothermia.”
About this source
ClinicalTrials.gov is the NIH-run registry of every clinical trial conducted in the United States, plus most international trials sponsored by US-based companies or institutions. By federal law, sponsors must register Phase 2 through Phase 4 studies before enrolling patients and post results within a year of completion. This feed tracks every new trial registration and study update, around 700 a month: drug interventions, device studies, behavioral protocols, observational research. Watch this if you scout drug candidates moving into mid or late-stage development, monitor competitor pipelines, or follow rare disease research where new trials signal patient hope. GovPing parses sponsor, phase, intervention, and target indication on each entry.
What changed
This ClinicalTrials.gov entry documents the registration of a new randomized controlled trial studying foot reflexology as an adjunct intervention for neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy undergoing therapeutic hypothermia. The trial will assess comfort using the COMFORTneo scale and monitor physiological parameters throughout the intervention period.
For clinical investigators and neonatal research teams, this registry entry signals an active trial in the area of non-pharmacological supportive care for HIE. Sites conducting therapeutic hypothermia programs may encounter foot reflexology as a complementary intervention being evaluated in the research context.

Foot Reflexology in Neonates With Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy
N/A NCT07549789 Kind: NA Apr 24, 2026
Abstract
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of foot reflexology on comfort levels and physiological parameters in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy undergoing therapeutic hypothermia. Neonates in the intervention group will receive standardized foot reflexology sessions in addition to routine care, while the control group will receive routine care alone. Comfort will be assessed using the COMFORTneo scale, and physiological parameters will be monitored throughout the intervention period.
