Acupressure applied to intensive care patients has an effect on physiological parameters.

Participants will be included in the study after obtaining consent from patients who were treated in the intensive care unit, who scored 9 and above on the glaskow coma scale by evaluating their consciousness status, and had pain after evaluating their pain.
