Brief Summary: Preoperative anxiety occurs commonly in elective caesarean section and is associated with increased perioperative morbidity Some groups have used non-pharmacological techniques such as acupressure for its treatment since drugs cross the placenta
Detailed Description: Preoperative anxiety occurs commonly in elective caesarean section and is associated with increased perioperative morbidity Some groups have used non-pharmacological techniques such as acupressure for its treatment since drugs cross the placenta

The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of acupressure with co-stimulation of the Yin-Tang and Shen-Men points on the reduction in pre- and postoperative anxiety in elective caesarean section

A single-blind randomised controlled single-centre study will be conducted in ASA I or II patients undergoing elective caesarean section under perispinal anaesthesia Patients will be randomised into two groups the ACU group co-stimulation of the Yin-Tang and Shen-Men points and the ACU- group stimulation of two sham points Anxiety will be assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory STAI score and by measuring skin conductance Electrodermal Activity EDA during three periods period 1 at inclusion in the patients hospital room on the morning of the procedure period 2 before arrival in the operating theatre and period 3 in the postoperative recovery room True or sham acupressure will be applied using adhesive beads positioned between periods 1 and 2 and left in place until the end of period 3
