First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether acupressure (applying pressure to specific points on the body) and back massage can reduce pain, fatigue, and improve sleep quality in women recovering from a cesarean section. About 111 new mothers will receive these non-drug treatments after surgery. The goal is to find safe, effective ways to manage discomfort without relying on medications that might affect breastfeeding.
