      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: This two-group randomized clinical trial will be carried  out  on  ‎‎64 pregnant  women admitted for elective cesarean section with ‎spinal anesthesia at Imam Reza Hospital after  the approval  of  ‎the  Ethics Committee  of  the University of Medical Sciences ‎in Mashhad, Iran. After  clarifying  the  purposes  of  the  study  ‎and obtaining  written  consent  from  the  individuals, sampling ‎will be  performed by the consideration of the ethical codes.‎Non-probability sampling will be using based on convenient ‎sampling and inclusion / exclusion criteria. Then the selected ‎participants  will be  allocated randomly  to  two  groups  of  ‎acupressure and  control  using  a  random  number  table‏.‏Inclusion criteria: single pregnancy, gestational age 38-40 ‎weeks based on first-trimester ultrasound, Systolic blood ‎pressure 100-140mmHg, elective cesarean section, no medical ‎or midwifery sickness in the current pregnancy such as ‎gestational diabetes &amp; preeclampsia. ‎All intraoperative problems will be excluded such as bleeding ‎more than 1.5 liters, prolonged operation time to more than one ‎hour. ‎Mothers’ primary blood pressure and heart rate will be  ‎measured and recorded after entering the operating room and ‎before starting the intervention..‎Then, at least 15-20 minutes before spinal anesthesia the ‎pressure will be performed by the researcher at the pressure ‎points three times for about 30-60 seconds.‎‎  These pressure points are as follows:‎Baihui DU-20(At the head and with cun5 distance from the hair ‎growth line), Hegu(On the back of the hand between the 1st and ‎‎2nd metacarpal bones and on the radial side of the second ‎metacarp), ST36(3cun below knee joint) and Neiguan(4-5 cm ‎above the first transverse wrist crease, located in the path ‎between the median nerve and between the palms and the ‎bending of the lower arm) .‎Mother's blood pressure and heart rate will be monitored and ‎recorded every 3 minutes until the end of the operation after ‎assurance of sufficient block level and start of the operation.‎. Intervention 2: Control group: The control group will be receive routine care. ‎Mother's blood pressure and heart rate will be monitored and ‎recorded every 3 minutes until the end of the operation after ‎assurance of sufficient block level and start of the operation ‎.</i_freetext>
