Acupressure Applied After Cesarean Section on Postpartum Pain
Condition: Postpartum Disorder; Cesarean Section Complications
MeSH terms: Puerperal Disorders
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Summary: 
      Pressure applied according to the principles of acupressure limits the pain limit, reduces
      the secretion of endorphins, which is a neurochemical, reduces the tension in the muscles,
      reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood flow, and finally provides duration and relaxation.
      Acupressure application is becoming more and more common nowadays because it is a
      noninvasive, safe, easy-to-apply and effective method without side effects. It seems that
      there is a limit to the study in which group acupressure applications in the literature are
      examined together on pain and comfort after cesarean section. In these basic points, the
      expectations of achieving postpartum pain and postpartum comfort of acupressure applied after
      cesarean delivery in this study. The circle of the research; There will be women who will
      have repeated cesarean section in a private Obstetrics Clinic in Famagusta. Women will be
      separated from two groups, one group will continue acupressure and the other group will do
      routine care. Visual analog scale and end-of-birth comfort procedure will be applied to women
      before and after the application.
