Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical Trial Description

Massage application provides an increase in the level of endorphins by making a relaxing effect on the muscles. Endorphin massage increases the release of endorphins, allowing the individual to relax, relax the muscles and reduce pain. Endorphin massage is a light massage technique that can increase the release of oxytocin and endorphin hormones, providing a feeling of calmness and comfort. In addition to reducing pain, the endorphin hormone provides relaxation, supports the immune system, and accelerates metabolic activities. It is also known as the happiness hormone. It is stated that back massage will increase the release of endorphin hormones by relaxing the mother. In other studies conducted in the postpartum period, it has been determined that massage applied reduces the severity of pain and stress, and increases the level of comfort. Studies have shown that endorphin massage applied to pregnant women reduces back pain. In another study, it was determined that deep tissue massage applied to the back area after cesarean section reduced the level of pain. In the other study, it was determined that the endorphin massage applied to the 3rd trimester pregnant women reduced the level of anxiety. When the literature is examined, no study has been found that examines the effect of endorphin massage applied to puerperant women on pain, comfort, mood and beta endorphin levels in the postpartum period. The fact that endorphin massage is applied to similar areas with both back massage and oxytocin massage suggests that endorphin massage may affect the pain process experienced in the postpartum period. It is aimed to determine the effect on endorphin level. ;
