First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether acupressure, a technique where pressure is applied to specific points on the body, can help people with multiple sclerosis (MS) manage pain, fatigue, and sleep problems. Researchers enrolled 90 adults with relapsing-remitting MS who had moderate to severe pain and fatigue. Participants received acupressure sessions, and the team measured changes in fatigue, pain, sleep quality, and overall quality of life. The goal is to see if this simple, non-invasive approach can improve daily living for people with MS.
