Acute nausea during the second cycle of chemotherapy, as measured by the visual analog scale (VAS).

Measure	Foot reflexology group (n=34), n (%)	Control group (n=34), n (%)	P value
VAS1a score >0	6 (18)	2 (6)	—b
VAS2c score >0	4 (12)	8 (24)	—
VAS score increase ≥2	0 (0)	7 (21)	.001

^aVAS1 is the VAS administered before the foot reflexology session for the intervention group and when the patient arrived at the outpatient or inpatient appointment for the control group.

^bThe P value concerns only the variation of the VAS score between VAS1 and VAS2 if ≥2.

^cVAS2 is the VAS administered after the foot reflexology session for the intervention group and before leaving the hospital for the control group.
