Acupressure eases heart Patients' anxiety, study finds

This study tested whether acupressure, a technique that applies pressure to specific points on the body, can reduce anxiety and improve vital signs like blood pressure and heart rate in people hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Sixty-eight adults with a first-time ACS diagnosis participated. Researchers measured anxiety, pain, and physiological parameters before and after acupressure. The goal was to see if this simple, non-invasive method could help patients feel calmer and stabilize their health during a critical time.
