Summary

This study looked at whether acupressure—a gentle, non-needle technique—can improve sleep, quality of life, and feelings of hopelessness in older adults living in a nursing home. Fifty people aged 65 and older took part; half received acupressure three times a week for four weeks, while the other half received usual care. The results showed that acupressure may be a safe, drug-free way to help older adults feel better and sleep more soundly.
