| Summary: | Objective(s): To compare the impact of foot reflexology massage and Bensone relaxation on severity of pain after cesarean section.
Methods: A quasi-experimental time series design and clinical trial was used. Method of sampling was convenience non probability. Samples were placed in two groups: foot reflexology massage and Bensone relaxation and a control group. Pain was measured using a standard numerical pain scale. For data analysis Mann Whitney, ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis and Wilkacson were performed.
Results: Comparison of the mean of pain severity was separately significant between two group and measured group (P<0.05). Difference between the mean of pain severity also was significant between foot reflexology massage and Bensone relaxation (P=0.0001).
Conclusion: Foot reflexology massage and Bensone relaxation were effective on decreaseing pain severity after women abdominal surgical operation and the impact of foot reflexology massage was superior.
