Summary
This study tests a 4-week ear acupressure program, guided by a smartphone app, to help people in rural areas manage chronic muscle and joint pain. About 693 adults with ongoing neck, back, or knee pain will either use the program with remote or in-person training, or receive standard education. The goal is to see if this self-management approach reduces pain and improves daily life over six months.
