First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tested whether a simple, non-invasive acupressure technique on the ear could help improve appetite and prevent weight loss in people with advanced stomach, esophageal, or pancreatic cancer. The study was very small (only 3 participants) and was stopped early, so it mainly looked at whether such a study is possible to run. The goal was to see if patients would use the acupressure pellets and find them helpful.
