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. About 78 adults with cancer will be randomly assigned to real acupressure or a sham version. Participants will learn to do acupressure on themselves, and researchers will measure changes in anxiety levels before and after the intervention.
