Summary

This study tests whether acupressure, a non-invasive technique using finger pressure on specific body points, can reduce anxiety in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Researchers will compare real acupressure to a sham (placebo) version in 78 adults with cancer. The goal is to find a drug-free way to help patients manage anxiety during treatment.
