Patient-centered Self-administered Acupressure for Fatigue Management in Chinese Advanced Cancer Patients

The prevalence and impacts of fatigue and related symptoms in cancer patients have been clearly demonstrated in the literature, which also emphasizes the need for evidence‐based interventions targeting symptom management in such advanced patients. The main challenge is identifying an intervention that is not only effective in managing cancer‐related symptoms but is also feasible, acceptable, and safe for this patient group. The proposed study aims to test the effects of a patient‐centered self‐administered acupressure intervention on fatigue management for Chinese advanced cancer patients using the robust study design of a randomized, wait‐list controlled trial.
