Background: According to recent WHO research, the global rate of caesarean sections is steadily increasing. Afterpains can have significant consequences for both mothers and newborns, including increased anxiety, sleep disruptions, emotional distress, depression, and challenges with breastfeeding and caring for the baby. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the effect of foot reflexology therapy on pain among post-cesarean mothers in a selected hospital at Lucknow.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of foot reflexology therapy on pain among post-cesarean mothers admitted in selected hospital, Lucknow.

Research Methodology: This study was conducted using Quantitative approach in Era’s Lucknow Medical College and Hospital and Quasi experimental research design was used in the study. Total sample size was 70 (35 in experimental group and 35 in control group) selected by non - probability purposive sampling technique and data was collected by using Socio-demographic tool and Numerical pain rating scale.

Result: The mean pain score of the experimental group (M = 3.71, SD = 1.073) was lower than the control group (M = 7.26, SD = 2.049). The t-test revealed a statistically significant difference in the post-test pain scores between the experimental and control groups (t = 9.08, df = 68, p < 0.001). Hence, this indicated that the intervention administered to the experimental group was effective in reducing pain levels compared to the control group.

Conclusion: The statistically significant difference in pain scores between the experimental and control groups claims that foot reflexology is a safe, simple, and feasible complementary approach for post-cesarean pain management. Thus, this study concluded that foot reflexology therapy is an effective non-pharmacological intervention for reducing post-cesarean pain.
