Like many other treatments used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the goal of the practice is to support movement of qi, or life force inside the body, notes the <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://www.rogelcancercenter.org/support/symptoms-and-side-effects/alternative-medicine/acupressure" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-component-name="">University of Michigan Health's Rogel Cancer Center</a>. According to TCM theory, qi flows through paths throughout the body, known as meridians.

The traditional view is that “there are points on the meridian channels where it's easiest to connect with the flow of qi,” he explains.</p><p>Applying pressure to acupressure points is meant to elicit specific therapeutic effects on physical, emotional, and mental health.</p><p>In conventional Western medicine, the theory behind how acupressure works is a bit different, Dr. Cavanaugh notes. “It tends to be viewed more in terms of affecting certain nerves for a relaxing and therapeutic effect,” he says. Other theories, per the same review, include effects on the local tissues, brain function, neurohormonal activity, and physiologic pathways.</p><p>Acupressure is fairly easy to learn on your own, Dr. Ingegno says, but if you’re looking for a professional practitioner, he recommends seeking out a licensed acupuncturist or licensed <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://www.everydayhealth.com/wellness/potential-health-benefits-of-massage-therapy/" data-component-name="">massage therapist</a> who specializes in Asian bodywork therapies. “These two professions have training in both the theory and location of these points,” he says. “However, people can provide acupressure to themselves or friends with some knowledge.”</p></div></section></div><script type="application/json" data-hypernova-key="evdyconsumercomponentreactcontentblock" data-hypernova-id="aaa833f7-ad15-4c43-9fe6-3a5838ab2435"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="eh-widget eh-widget--cb"><div class="container-fluid"><div class="row"><div class="col"><div data-hypernova-key="evdyconsumercomponentreactcontentblock" data-hypernova-id="deb135e7-2133-4381-a3a3-7db74f605509"><section class="eh-content-block"><div id="benefits" class="eh-section-anchor"></div><div class="eh-section-title eh-section-title--default eh-section-title--nested"><div style="background-color:#2488be" class="eh-section-title__rule-line"></div><h2 class="eh-section-title__heading">Possible Benefits of Acupressure</h2></div><div class="eh-content-block__content"><p>Traditionally, acupressure has been used in Chinese medicine to treat pain and disease, and to improve overall health, according to <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://www.britannica.com/science/acupressure" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-component-name="">Encyclopædia Britannica</a>.</p><p>Today, scientific research is still ongoing to determine the efficacy and benefits of this practice. “Acupressure has been less studied than acupuncture,” Ingegno says. “However, some good studies exist for specific conditions.”</p><h3>May Reduce Pain</h3><p>Evidence suggests that acupressure can help relieve pain. One <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6533784/" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-component-name="">study published in May 2019 in the <em>Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine</em></a> found that those who received acupressure (patients in a clinic and hospital, and people from the general public who were taught self-acupressure) reported significantly improved pain and anxiety scores after the therapy, with the most benefit for hospitalized patients.</p><p>Another <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://journals.lww.com/cjsportsmed/Abstract/2017/07000/Does_Acupressure_Hit_the_Mark__A_Three_Arm.2.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-component-name="">study</a> published two years prior determined that just three minutes of acupressure was more effective in acutely decreasing pain intensity in athletes who sustained an acute musculoskeletal sports injury compared with two control groups: one that received pressure to non-acupoints and one that received no treatment at all and just rested in a room.</p><p>Some <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8684198/" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-component-name="">research</a> suggests that acupressure may also help <a class="cr-anchor" href="/cold-and-flu/treatment/natural-sinus-pain-and-pressure-relief/" data-component-name="">relieve sinus pressure</a> associated with allergies.</p><h3>May Improve Mental Health</h3><p>Acupressure may help alleviate stress and improve well-being. One <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8071356/" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-component-name=""> study</a> of 59 nurses in South Korea who received acupressure for 15 minutes a day for three days found that the practice significantly decreased stress, fatigue, and anxiety compared with the control group.</p><p>Other research suggests that acupressure may help ease depression. A <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8783164/" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-component-name="">systematic review and meta-analysis published in January 2022 in the <em>World Journal of Psychiatry</em></a> concluded that in the 14 studies reviewed, acupressure significantly reduced symptoms in people with mild to moderate depression compared with the control groups. The authors cautioned, however, that the studies were variable in quality, and more research is needed.</p><h3>May Help With Sleep Troubles</h3><p>Some research suggests that acupressure might help <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://www.everydayhealth.com/sleep-disorders/sleep/sleep-101-ultimate-guide-on-how-get-better-nights-sleep/" data-component-name="">promote better sleep</a>.</p><p>One <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28089414/" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-component-name="">meta-analysis</a> found that although the 13 studies that met the criteria showed a lot of variability in results, in a subanalysis, there was evidence of some improvements in sleep, such as with latency (the time it takes to fall asleep) as well as overall sleep duration.</p><p>Another <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30797692/" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-component-name=""> study</a> of 63 nursing home residents experiencing sleep disturbances and psychological distress found that acupressure led to improvements in sleep quality and mental well-being.</p><h3>May Ease Nausea and Vomiting</h3><p>Another benefit of acupressure with some scientific backing is its anti-nausea effect. Studies have shown particular benefit for people receiving chemotherapy and pregnant women.</p><p>A <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35331208/" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-component-name="">clinical trial published in March 2022 in <em>BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies</em></a> concluded that auricular acupressure, in conjunction with anti-nausea medication, was more effective at relieving nausea and vomiting than the medication alone in people with breast cancer who were undergoing chemotherapy.</p><p>In another <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32018274/" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-component-name=""> study</a> of 90 women, acupressure administered for 10 minutes four times a day was found to reduce the severity of nausea, vomiting, and retching during pregnancy.</p><h3>May Improve the Well-Being of Cancer Survivors</h3><p>In addition to preventing nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy, acupressure may help with a number of side effects of cancer.</p><p>A <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://academic.oup.com/jncics/article/2/4/pky064/5288407?login=false" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-component-name="">study published October 2018 in <em>JNCI Cancer Spectrum</em></a> found that breast cancer survivors who were trained in self-administered acupressure experienced greater improvements in symptoms of depression, anxiety, and pain, as well as improved sleep quality, compared with those who received the usual care. A <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaoncology/fullarticle/2532352" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-component-name="">previous study</a> by the same researchers found that acupressure significantly reduced persistent fatigue in breast cancer survivors compared with the usual care.</p></div></section></div><script type="application/json" data-hypernova-key="evdyconsumercomponentreactcontentblock" data-hypernova-id="deb135e7-2133-4381-a3a3-7db74f605509"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="eh-widget eh-widget--cb"><div class="container-fluid"><div class="row"><div class="col"><div data-hypernova-key="evdyconsumercomponentreactcontentblock" data-hypernova-id="ea8f6061-dcfa-4092-8f56-13d3e9608d87"><section class="eh-content-block"><div id="risks" class="eh-section-anchor"></div><div class="eh-section-title eh-section-title--default eh-section-title--nested"><div style="background-color:#2488be" class="eh-section-title__rule-line"></div><h2 class="eh-section-title__heading">Acupressure Safety and Side Effects</h2></div><div class="eh-content-block__content"><p>Acupressure is a noninvasive treatment that is considered to be generally safe when performed by someone who is properly trained, such as a licensed massage therapist or acupuncturist.</p><p>However, there are potential side effects to be aware of. “These include soreness and tenderness, dizziness, emotional release, and in rare instances, nausea and vomiting,” says <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://www.reikiema.com/about-me" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-component-name="">Ema Melanaphy</a>, a certified <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://www.everydayhealth.com/reiki/" data-component-name="">reiki</a> master teacher and qualified holistic acupressure practitioner based in the United Kingdom.</p><p>In one <a class="cr-anchor" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8783164/" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-component-name="">review</a>, authors found reports of rare acupressure side effects like <a class="cr-anchor" href="/hypertension/when-is-low-blood-pressure-too-low/" data-component-name="">hypotension (low blood pressure)</a>, palpitations, and headache.</p><p>If you have any concerns about possible side effects, speak with your provider.

This will give your practitioner a full picture of your current health and medical history.</p><p>You should also have an opportunity to ask questions of your therapist about what to expect during or after your session.</p><h3>During</h3><p>Depending on your practitioner, how and where you receive the therapy may vary. “It could be a treatment done over clothing or without clothing, while lying on a comfy futon or seated on a treatment couch or chair,” Cavanaugh says.</p><p>Ideally, you’ll feel relaxed during the therapy session, Ingegno says, but he notes that you may feel the mild to moderate pressure the practitioner applies to the acupoints.</p><p>“You may feel physical changes or emotions coming to the surface,” Cavanaugh says. “It's good if you notice what's happening in your experience and tell your practitioner either during or after the treatment.”</p><h3>After</h3><p>The goal of acupressure is to feel symptom relief, but “depending on the severity of the condition and how well your body responds to treatment, the results may be insignificant after one session,” Ingegno says.</p><p>Treatment areas may feel a bit tender or sore, which is normal.

However, it’s important to tell your practitioner of any health issues you have and if you are pregnant, so you can decide together if the treatment is right for you.
