Summary

This study looked at whether acupressure, a technique where you apply gentle pressure to specific spots on the body, can help reduce severe tiredness in women who have had ovarian cancer. 171 survivors took part, and researchers measured their fatigue and quality of life over 24 weeks. The goal was to find a simple, drug-free way to ease a common and draining side effect of cancer treatment.
