The Effect of Acupressure on Hyperbilirubinemia in Newborns: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Acupressure: Acupressure intervention
Study summary
This study is a randomized controlled trial conducted to evaluate the effect of acupressure application on hyperbilirubinemia in newborns. The study examined the effect of regular acupressure applications to specific points on serum bilirubin levels in newborns at risk of developing physiological jaundice in the first days of life. By comparing bilirubin levels between the experimental and control groups, the potential benefits of acupressure in reducing the severity of jaundice and supporting bilirubin metabolism were investigated. The findings suggest that acupressure can be used as a complementary method in neonatal care.
