First seen Jan 02, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study looked at whether self-acupressure (like acupuncture but without needles) can help reduce joint pain and stiffness caused by aromatase inhibitor therapy in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. Fifty participants learned to apply pressure to specific points on their body for 12 weeks. The goal was to see if this simple technique could improve pain and other symptoms, and researchers also explored changes in gut bacteria.
