Introduction: Post-cesarean pain should be specially managed in order to prevent unwanted complications. Hence, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of foot reflexology on post-cesarean pain. Methodology: The present randomized clinical trial was conducted on 60 women in Al-Zahra Hospital of Tabriz. According to a similar study, participants were selected using convenience sampling. The participants were assigned to the massage therapy group (n=30) and control group (n=30) based on random allocation. Those in the massage therapy group received massaging of both feet for 10 minutes 6 hours after cesarean section. The data were statistically analyzed using the independent t-test, the Mann–Whitney U test, chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and the paired sample t-test at the significance level of 0.05. Results: The results of the independent t-test indicated that the mean severity of pain significantly reduced in the massage therapy group on all three days studied after the intervention (p≤0.003). Conclusion: The findings suggested that short-term foot reflexology reduced post-cesarean pain. Since foot reflexology is a simple method, it is recommended to be included in health care programs.
