Protocol summary

Study aim
The effectiveness of these non-pharmacological methods in controlling pain, nausea and vomiting, hemodynamic indicators and the quality of recovery after surgery
Design
A parallel randomized clinical trial with a control group, on 102 patients, used Block randomization for randomization.
Settings and conduct
Place of performance: Imam Ali (a.s.) educational and therapeutic hospital in the surgical and operating room departments.

Randomized
Randomization description
Parallel randomized clinical trial - patients are continuously referred and then entered into the study based on the type of random allocation. This research will be allocated to three groups of foot reflex massage with oil (O), foot reflex massage without oil (W), control (C) or routine before starting the study by block randomization method. The blocks of this research are 6 (OO, WW, CC) and 27 states will be created. First, the possible states of these 6 letters inside the blocks will be determined, and then the numbers of the blocks will be determined in a simple random manner using a table of random numbers. In this way, the type of intervention based on the desired letters will be determined with the number of each patient and will be kept in a master sheet, and finally, the intervention number of each patient will be inserted on a sheet when visiting and the type of intervention will be known at that moment (entry number The patient records are entered on the envelope and the type of intervention or control is specified inside the envelope. Gradually, according to the presence of eligible patients, the corresponding envelope is returned, and the type of intervention that is inside the non-transparent envelope is specified, and the desired technique will be done.)

Primary outcomes

1

Description
Determining the postoperative pain level of patients at the time of discharge from recovery, 24 and 48 hours after surgery in caesarean section patients in the reflex massage groups with and without black seed oil and their control group, this scale was a ten-centimeter horizontal ruler ranging from zero to It was graded ten. The number zero indicated the absence of pain symptoms and the number ten meant the maximum intensity of the desired symptoms.
Timepoint
Post-operative pain level, recovery time, 24 and 48 hours after the operation and after reflexology massage with and without black seed oil.
Method of measurement
Visual analogue scale is used to measure the pain of the operation site

2

Description
Determining the severity of nausea in patients during surgery, after surgery and 24 hours after surgery in caesarean section patients of reflexology massage groups with and without black seed oil and their control group, the visual scale for registering the severity of nausea is a self-report scale. Nausea with a grade above 7 is classified as severe, between 3.5 and 7 as moderate, and less than 3.5 as mild.
Timepoint
Determining the severity of nausea in patients during surgery, after surgery and 24 hours after surgery and after reflexology massage with and without black seed oil.

Description
To evaluate the amount of vomiting, counting the number of times vomiting is used. Vomiting more than 5 times is defined as severe, between 3-5 times as moderate and less than 3 times as mild.
Timepoint
The amount of nausea and vomiting is measured after the intervention, during the operation, after the operation and 24 hours after the operation.

1

Description
Determining postoperative headache in patients
Timepoint
Recovery time, 24 and 48 hours after the operation

The measurement of headache is a visual analogue scale, this scale was a ten-centimeter horizontal ruler graded from zero to ten. The number zero indicates the absence of pain symptoms and the number ten means the maximum intensity of the symptoms

2

Description
2. Determining shivering of patients
Timepoint
During recovery
Method of measurement
By observing the patient during recovery and at four levels, the absence of muscle tremors is scored as zero, straightening of hair, peripheral cyanosis: 1, visible muscle tremors in one muscle group: 2, visible muscle tremors in more than one muscle group: 3 and muscle tremors. Visible in all the muscles of the body: 4

3

Description
6. Digestive index (constipation)
Timepoint

Urinary output is measured by a questionnaire. After the implementation of foot reflex massage interventions with and without black seed oil through the inserted urinary catheter, he will do it by observing the urine bag and the patient's file.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: The first intervention group: The intervention group (reflex massage of the soles of the feet): pressure on three sensitive points, which are the solar plexus, pituitary gland, and heart, with the thumb. This pressure is to the extent that the upper third of the researcher's thumb turns white, and then massage is given to all the soles of the feet in a circular manner. The meaning of massage in this study is a 20-minute foot massage (10 minutes after the patient is stabilized on the operating bed and 10 minutes during recovery and 3 seconds of rest for every 2 minutes of direct pressure). The movement of the thumb or other fingers is circular clockwise and continuously on the reflective points without breaking the contact with the skin and will be done with black seed oil (Barij company).Before the intervention, in order for the researcher's hand to have more contact with the massage area, the patient's feet were first cleaned using a wet towel, then the researcher performed reflex foot massage without using cream or emollient with black seed oil in the intervention group for 20 minutes (10 minutes for each foot) and it is done first on the left foot and then on the right foot. If there is edema in the client's leg, more pressure is applied to perform the techniques.

The movement of the thumb or other fingers is circular in the clockwise direction and continuously on the reflex points without breaking the contact with the skin and will be done with baby oil (Firooz Company). First, the patient's feet were cleaned using a wet towel, then the researcher performed a reflex foot massage without using cream or softener with black seed oil in the intervention group for 20 minutes (10 minutes on each foot, first on the left foot and then on the right foot). will be If there is edema in the client's leg, more pressure is applied to perform the techniques.
