Re: Has anyone participated in a accupressure study for fatigue after chemo?

Oh - this is just wristbands. I thought they were using real acupressure treatments.

I can not imagine how they can they can even call this an acupressure study. Everyone is different, so are they trying to standardize treating a deficiency or an excess on a specific wrist point on the lung, large intestine, triple warmer, heart or small intestine meridians? It seems like the entire study was a sham, not just the control arm.
