Fatigue Clinical Trial
Official title:
Randomized Pilot Study of Self-Administered Acupressure for Patients With Low Back Pain
The purpose of this study is to compare two kinds of self-administered acupressure
(relaxation acupressure and stimulating acupressure) to usual care for management of fatigue
and pain in low back pain patients.
Hypothesis: Self-administered relaxation acupressure will result in improvements in fatigue
and sleep quality, pain, and physical function compared to stimulating acupressure and usual
care.
Acupressure is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique based on a philosophy similar
to that of acupuncture. It involves the application of physical pressure on different
acupuncture points (acupoints). One advantage of acupressure is the ability to
self-administer the treatment. Acupressure is also a viable alternative to acupuncture in
situations where patients: (1) cannot come to the clinic to receive an acupuncture
treatment; (2) when a more frequent intervention is needed; or (3) where needle phobia or
safety concerns are an issue.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the validity and feasibility of teaching
acupressure interventions using an acupressure educator for the management of symptoms
related to low back pain.
Specific aims:
1. To examine the effect of 6-weeks of relaxation acupressure (RA) compared to a regime of
stimulating acupressure (SA) or wait-list control (WL) on fatigue and sleep quality as
assessed by Brief Fatigue Inventory and wrist-worn accelerometry (sleep efficiency).
2. To explore the effect of 6-weeks of RA compared to a regime of SA or WL on for chronic
low back pain in terms of reduced pain and improved function.
