Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this preliminary study is therefore to assess the feasibility, safety and reduction of perioperative anxiety thanks to acupressing. In addition, patients undergoing oocyte retrieval often present postoperatively with nausea, abdominal pain and discomfort. Acupuncture could also help these patients.


Clinical Trial Description

Infertility can lead to the realization of follicular puncture or oocytes in order to obtain an embryo for medically assisted procreation. It is a long treatment for the couples concerned and this intervention, relatively simple in young patients, is associated with a very high level of anxiety. According to studies, the incidence of preoperative anxiety ranges from 11% to 80% in adult patients. In patients undergoing outpatient surgery, anxiolytics are not administered before anesthesia in outpatient surgery, as this would risk altering their "fitness for the street" and preventing their return home. Studies have shown a benefit of acupressing in the treatment of preoperative anxiety. This technique could therefore be an alternative to drug anxiety before surgery. Acupressing could also help these patients. ;
