Acupressure for anxiety before c-section
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether acupressure (a gentle pressure technique) applied before a planned cesarean delivery can help reduce anxiety, calm your body, and help your baby's heart rate. It's for pregnant women who are not high-risk and are having spinal anesthesia.
