Clinical Trial Summary

This research was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of acupressure on the level of back pain and fatigue after coronary angiography.


Clinical Trial Description

To prevent bleeding, hematoma, and embolism after coronary angiography, patients are asked to stay in bed for 6 to 24 hours. During complete bed rest for at least 6 hours, the patient should keep his/her feet flat. The patient should lie in the supine position and avoid rapid movements. Long-term bed rest (at least 6 hours) in post-angiographic patients causes weakening of the lower back muscles and fatigue due to the pressure constantly applied to the same muscles, while muscle fatigue causes muscle spasms and lower back pain. Today, acupressure is also used along with various pharmacological treatments to relieve pain and fatigue. Acupressure is a massage technique that ensures the proper functioning of energy channels by applying some pressure to certain parts of the body with the thumbs or index fingers, hands, palms, wrists and knees for therapeutic purposes. Acupressure points are the same as acupuncture points. Although there is no needle inserted into the body as in acupuncture. According to G-power analysis, the total number of samples was calculated as 120. A total of 120 participants will be randomly assigned to the acupuncture group (n=40), sham acupuncture group (n=40) and control group (n=40). A Personal Information Form and Visual Analog Scales for Pain and Fatigue will be used to collect data. ;
