Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods: A single-blinded randomized controlled trial was performed in a university hospital in Turkey between April-December 2018. Neonates were randomized into three groups as acupressure, massage and control groups. Data were obtained by using Information form, Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS), pulse oximeter device and chronometer. Acupressure was applied to the neonates in the acupressure group and massage was given to the neonates in the massage group for 2 minutes before heel lancing procedure. Pain levels of the neonates in the groups were evaluated during and 1 minute after heel lancing procedure. Furthermore, the oxygen saturation and heart rate values of the neonates in the groups were measured by pulse oximeter device before, during and after heel lancing procedure. Duration of crying and heel lancing procedure were recorded by chronometer.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
acupressure group
2 neonates did not calm down before heel lancing; oxygen saturation and heart rate values of 2 neonates could not be monitored because the pulse oximeter tool probe was not fastened well.
Acupressure was performed when the mother was holding the neonate on her arm. For two minutes, acupressure was performed in the acupressure points (Kun Lun (UB60) and Taixi (K3). Each point was applied acupressure for 60 seconds, and heel lancing was performed right after this procedure. The acupuncture points that Kun Lun (UB60) and Taixi (K3) are on the side of the ankle.
nonpharmalogocial methods
neonates received acupressure (acupressure group) or massage (massage group) before heel lancing procedure
masssage group
oxygen saturation and heart rate values of 2 neonates could not be monitored because the pulse oximeter tool probe was not fastened well; heel lancing could not be performed at the first attempt (2 neonates).
Foot massage was performed when the mother was holding the neonate on her arm. Each neonate was given foot massage for two minutes, and heel lancing was performed right after the massage.
nonpharmalogocial methods
neonates received acupressure (acupressure group) or massage (massage group) before heel lancing procedure
control group
oxygen saturation and heart rate values of 1 neonates could not be monitored because the pulse oximeter tool probe was not fastened well; heel lancing could not be performed at the first attempt (2 neonates).
No application was made to theneonates in the control group before heel lancing procedure
