Tonsillectomy is one of the most common pediatric surgeries in the world and pain control following tonsillectomy is very important.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of acupressure on the amount of pain following tonsillectomy in children.
One hundred and forty-four children aged 5-12 years old were assigned into one of three groups: interventions, control and placebo. In the intervention group, acupressure was applied at three acupoints and in the placebo group, sham acupressure was applied. In the control group routine care only was applied.
There was a significant difference between an average of changes in pain score before and after the intervention during the 3 time periods after the tonsillectomy operation in the acupressure group (p = 0.002).
The results showed that acupressure had a positive effect on pain reduction after tonsillectomy in children in the intervention group.
扁桃体切除术是世界上最常见的儿科手术之一,扁桃体切除术后的疼痛控制非常重要。
本研究旨在探讨穴位按压对儿童扁桃体切除术后疼痛程度的影响。
144名5至12岁的儿童被分为三组之一:干预组、对照组和安慰剂组。干预组在三个穴位进行穴位按压,安慰剂组进行假穴位按压。对照组仅给予常规护理。
穴位按压组在扁桃体切除术后3个时间段内,干预前后疼痛评分的平均变化存在显著差异(p = 0.002)。
结果表明,穴位按压对干预组儿童扁桃体切除术后的疼痛减轻有积极作用。
