The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of acupressure and warm compresses in reducing back pain in third-trimester pregnant women at the practice of Dr. Fajar Irianto, Sp.OG, Bandar Lampung. This quantitative study used a quasi-experimental design using a pretest–posttest non-equivalent control group design. The population was all third-trimester pregnant women experiencing back pain. The sample size was 32 respondents, divided into two groups: 16 respondents in the acupressure group and 4.38 in the warm compress group with a standard deviation of 0.957. The Mann–Whitney statistical test yielded a significance value of p < 0.001 (α < 0.05), thus concluding that there was a significant difference between the acupressure and warm compress groups.
