Clinical Trial: The Effect of Acupressure Application on Respiratory Performance and Pain Levels in Adult Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

U.S., Aug. 19 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07771751) titled 'The Effect of Acupressure Application on Respiratory Performance and Pain Levels in Adult Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery' on Aug. 11.
