Effect of foot reflex massage on sternotomy pain after coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Aims. This study was performed to investigate the effect of foot reflex massage on sternotomy pain of patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Methods. In a quasi-experimental study, 90 patients were randomly divided into three groups of case, control and placebo. The reflexology group received a 10-minute right foot massage in desired location twice a day with 6 hours intervals for 2 consecutive days. The placebo group undertook a 10-minute left foot massage and the control group received no intervention. Only at mentioned times, the amount of pain was measured by McGill visual scale. Results. The mean of pain intensity before and after intervention had significant difference in three groups (p<0.001). Average of pain intensity in the case group was 6.4(±2.1) before intervention and 3.4(±5.1) after intervention. The mean of pain intensity in control group before and after intervention was respectively 5.1(±1.7) and 5(±1.9). Independent T-test showed a significant reduction in intensity of post-operative pain between case and control groups (p<0.001). Conclusion. Foot reflex massage appears to be a useful method for reducing sternotomy pain in patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
