February 10, 2024 updated by: Neslihan SÖYLEMEZ, Inonu University

The Effect of Expressive Touch and Music Applied After Lumbar Disc Hernia Surgery on Pain, Vital Signs, and Near-infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Values.

Patients undergoing lumbar hernia surgery will be divided into expressive touch, music and control groups. Pre-test and post-test pain levels, vital signs, and NIRS values of the patients will be measured.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: The Effect of Expressive Touch Applied After Lumbar Disc Herniation Surgery
Expressive touch reduces pain and keeps vital signs and NIRS values within normal limits by touching the arms and hands of the patients through energy transfer.
Patients will be divided into three groups. The expressive touch group will touch the patient's hand.
Experimental: The Effect of Music Applied After Lumbar Disc Herniation Surgery
Patients listening to music are distracted and their pain is reduced, vital signs and NIRS values are kept within normal limits.
The music chosen by the patient will be played in the music group.
No Intervention: Pain, vital signs and NIRS values of patients after lumbar disc hernia surgery
No intervention is applied to the patients in this group and the effectiveness of the interventions used on the patients in the other group is measured.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Expressive touch applied to patients with lumbar disc herniation surgery reduces the level of pain.
Time Frame: 30 minute
the patient relaxes as a result of expressive touch, pain value will be measured by the verbal pain scale. The attempt will be evaluated 3 times. 44 patients will be measured in the touch group.
30 minute
Expressive touch applied to patients with lumbar disc herniation surgery doesn't reduce the level of pain.
Time Frame: 30 minute
the patient doesn't relaxes as a result of expressive touch, pain value will be measured by the verbal pain scale. The attempt will be evaluated 3 times. 44 patients will be measured in the touch group.
30 minute
Music applied to patients with lumbar disc hernia surgery reduces the level of pain.
Time Frame: 30 minute
the patient relaxes as a result of music. the verbal pain scale will be measured pain value. The attempt will be evaluated 3 times. 44 patients will be measured in the touch group.
30 minute
Music applied to patients with lumbar disc hernia surgery doesn't reduce the level of pain.
Time Frame: 30 minute
the patient doesn't relax as a result of music. the verbal pain scale will be measured pain value. The attempt will be evaluated 3 times. 44 patients will be measured in the touch group.
30 minute
Expressive touch applied to patients with lumbar disc herniation surgery is more effective than music in reducing pain.
Time Frame: 30 minute
the patient doesn't relax as a result of music but relaxes by expressive touch. The verbal pain scale will be measured pain value. The attempt will be evaluated 3 times. 44 patients will be measured in the touch group.
30 minute
Expressive touch applied to patients with lumbar disc herniation surgery is not more effective than music in reducing pain.
Time Frame: 30 minute

30 minute
Expressive touch applied to patients with lumbar disc herniation surgery ensures that body temperature, pulse, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and saturation values are kept within physiological limits.
Time Frame: 1 and a half hours
the patient relaxes as a result of expressive touch. Body temperature will be measured with a digital thermometer. Pulse and blood pressure value will be measured with a digital sphygmomanometer. The respiratory rate will be calculated by counting. Oxygen saturation will be measured by pulse oximetry. The initiative will be evaluated 3 times. 44 patients will be measured in the touch group.
