Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA

Brief Summary

This randomized controlled study evaluates the effect of acupressure application on the pain level patients after angioography. The hypothesis of this study is that acupressure reduces pain levels and stabilizes hemodynamic variables.

Detailed Description

In the study, 124 patients will randomly assigned to acupressure/experimental group and control group. To the acupressure/experimental group (n = 62), an average of 15 minutes will be applied to the LI4 (liver, between thumb and forefinger), P6 (pericardium, three fingers above the wrist) and LI 11 is located the area where the elbow bend. On the other hand, no other intervention will be applied to the control group other than routine treatment and nursing care. The primary outcome of the research is the effect of acupressure on the pain of patients. The secondary outcome of the study is to determine the effect of acupressure on the hemodynamic variables. The pain and hemodynamic variables will be collected before, immediately after the application, 10th, 20th and 30th minutes after the application. Data will also be collected from the control group at the same time.

Conditions

Acupressure; Pain; Hemodynamic Instability; Angiopathy, Peripheral

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE
• Blinding Strategy: SINGLE

Study Groups

Experimental

The experimental group will be given acupressure.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Acupressure

Intervention Type: OTHER

The experimental group will start with LI4 points and continue P6 and LI11 points. The application will be carried out by determining the priority order of the points with the draw. Attention will be paid to the intensity and duration of the pressure deemed appropriate. Since the individuals' responses will differ, the stiffness and pressure will be adjusted according to the individual's sensitivity not to cause tissue damage. Before starting the application, around the area to be pressed for 20-30 seconds will be gently rubbed with palm. With the gentle rubbing of the surrounding tissue, the tension and tissue sensitivity in warming, relaxing and preparatory will be reduced, and the tissue will be relieved. After, the point determined will be pressed manually for 2 minutes.

Control

It will only take routine treatment and care.

Group Type: NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
