Acupressure applied to intensive care patients has an effect on pain. Acupressure applied to intensive care patients has no effect on physiological parameters.Acupressure applied to intensive care patients has an effect on physiological parameters.Participants will be included in the study after obtaining consent from patients who were treated in the intensive care unit, who scored 9 and above on the glaskow coma scale by evaluating their consciousness status, and had pain after evaluating their pain., conditionsModule conditions: Intensive Care Patients, conditions: Pain, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: Since there will be variability in patient admissions to intensive care units, block randomization will be used. Three different groups will be coded with different letters (A,B,C) and blocks will be created. Then randomization will be performed by assigning random numbers on the computer. The letters determined in the randomization will be written in closed envelopes and stored, and the randomization process will be carried out by an independent researcher. After the patient who meets the inclusion criteria is identified, the independent researcher will be contacted to find out which group the patient is in., primaryPurpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE, maskingInfo masking: DOUBLE, maskingDescription: participant and statistical analysis expert is blind., whoMasked: PARTICIPANT, whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 30, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: acupressure, interventions name: placebo acupressure, interventions name: control group, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: neurological evaluation, primaryOutcomes measure: evaluation of pain, primaryOutcomes measure: evaluation of physiological parameters, secondaryOutcomes measure: evaluation of physiological parameters, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Giresun Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesi, status: RECRUITING, city: Giresun, zip: 28000, country: Turkey, contacts name: emine yaman lezki, role: CONTACT, phone: +9005458026622, email: e_yaman95@hotmail.com, geoPoint lat: 40.91698, lon: 38.38741, hasResults: False
