Summary
This study tested whether teaching veterans to do acupressure on themselves can reduce how much chronic low back pain interferes with daily life. About 300 veterans with long-term back pain took part. Half learned acupressure right away and practiced daily for 6 weeks; the other half learned after 10 weeks. The goal was to see if pain interference, fatigue, and sleep improved.
