ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying whether a special type of massage, called endorphin massage, can help reduce anxiety in pregnant women who are about to have a cesarean section (C-section). Before the surgery, researchers will teach the husbands of these women how to give this massage. They will then compare the women’s stress and pain levels before and after the massage to see if it helps them feel better.
To join the study, women must be admitted to the hospital for a C-section and agree to participate. However, those with psychiatric illnesses or who do not speak Turkish will not be included. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it's a great opportunity for eligible women to potentially experience less anxiety before their surgery.
