Summary

This study tested whether acupressure, a technique that applies gentle pressure to specific points on the body, can lower anxiety and steady vital signs in people about to have bladder removal surgery (cystectomy). Sixty adults participated, and researchers measured their anxiety levels and things like heart rate and blood pressure before and after the treatment. The goal was to see if this simple, non-drug method could help patients feel calmer before a major operation.
