Pregnancy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Acupressure on the "Yin-Tang" and "Shen-Men" Points on Pre and Postoperative Anxiety in Elective Caesarean Section: a Prospective, Single-blind, Randomised, Controlled Trial
Preoperative anxiety occurs commonly in elective caesarean section and is associated with increased perioperative morbidity. Some groups have used non-pharmacological techniques such as acupressure for its treatment since drugs cross the placenta.
Preoperative anxiety occurs commonly in elective caesarean section and is associated with increased perioperative morbidity. Some groups have used non-pharmacological techniques such as acupressure for its treatment since drugs cross the placenta. The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of acupressure with co-stimulation of the "Yin-Tang" and "Shen-Men" points on the reduction in pre- and postoperative anxiety in elective caesarean section. A single-blind, randomised, controlled, single-centre study will be conducted in ASA I or II patients undergoing elective caesarean section under perispinal anaesthesia. Patients will be randomised into two groups: the ACU+ group (co-stimulation of the "Yin-Tang" and "Shen-Men" points) and the ACU- group (stimulation of two sham points). Anxiety will be assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) score and by measuring skin conductance (Electrodermal Activity [EDA]) during three periods: period 1 (at inclusion, in the patient's hospital room on the morning of the procedure), period 2 (before arrival in the operating theatre) and period 3 (in the postoperative recovery room). True or sham acupressure will be applied using adhesive beads positioned between periods 1 and 2 and left in place until the end of period 3. ;
