Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
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.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Acupressure group
After coronary angiography, acupressure will be applied for a total of 15 minutes. For the acupressure group, a total of three points will be applied: the heart meridian 7th point (HT7), the large intestine meridian 4th point (LI4), and the stomach meridian 36th point (ST36), which is deemed appropriate in the lower extremity.
The symmetry of the three selected different points will also be applied to the other extremity.
Acupressure
For the acupressure group, a total of three points will be applied: the heart meridian 7th point (HT7), the large intestine meridian 4th point (LI4), and the stomach meridian 36th point (ST36), which is deemed appropriate in the lower extremity The symmetry of the three selected different points will also be applied to the other extremity.
After coronary angiography, acupressure will be applied for a total of 15 minutes.
Sham acupressure
In the acupressure application applied to the sham group, parallel pressure will be applied to the bone area and points where the HT7, LI4, ST36 meridians do not pass.
Sham acupressure
In the acupressure application applied to the sham group, parallel pressure will be applied to the bone area and points where the HT7, LI4, ST36 meridians do not pass.
Control group
With the control group, no intervention was conducted, and only standard care was given.
