This randomized controlled study aimed to determine the effects of acupressure and foot reflexology on procedural pain during heel-lancing in newborns. This study was conducted with 105 neonates (35 foot reflexology group, 35 acupressure group, and 35 control group) who met the inclusion criteria and who were delivered by cesarean section between October 2017 and March 2018 at a state hospital in Turkey. A "Newborn Information Form" and a "Neonatal Pain, Agitation, and Sedation Scale" (N-PASS) were used to collect data. The study found a significant intergroup difference between pain scores of neonates during the procedures ( < .05). Advanced analyses found that the pain scores in the acupressure and foot reflexology groups were similar, whereas the pain scores in the control group were higher than in the other two groups. Acupressure and foot reflexology administered during heel lancing in newborns are effective methods for reducing pain.
这项随机对照研究旨在确定指压法和足部反射疗法对新生儿足跟采血过程中程序性疼痛的影响。该研究对105名符合纳入标准的新生儿进行，这些新生儿于2017年10月至2018年3月在土耳其一家国立医院通过剖宫产分娩（35名接受足部反射疗法组、35名接受指压法组和35名对照组）。使用“新生儿信息表”和“新生儿疼痛、躁动和镇静量表”（N-PASS）收集数据。研究发现，在操作过程中新生儿的疼痛评分存在显著的组间差异（P<0.05）。进一步分析发现，指压法组和足部反射疗法组的疼痛评分相似，而对照组的疼痛评分高于其他两组。在新生儿足跟采血时进行指压法和足部反射疗法是减轻疼痛的有效方法。
