The targeted massage therapy known as acupressure may help breast cancer patients overcome fatigue, according to a new study.
As reported online July 7 in JAMA Oncology, the researchers randomly assigned 288 breast cancer survivors to one of three groups. One group was told to continue their usual care. A second group received acupressure that targets relaxation points. The final group received stimulating acupressure, intended to increase energy.
