Intervention type: PROCEDURE
Group type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
Intervention: Experimental Group 1 - Acupoint Pressure Experimental Group 2 - Pressure Ball Control Group - Conventional Treatment
Description: Interventions Group 1 - Acupoint Pressure Group 2 - Hand-Held Pressure Ball Control Group 3 - Conventional Treatment Other Names: Stress ball holding, acupoint pressure, conventional treatment~Description: Before the intervention, subjects completed a pre-test. Afterward, they assumed a relaxed, comfortable lying position. The examiner applied acupoint pressure at four specific points: Hegu (LI4), Shenmen (HT7), Neiguan (PC6), and Zhongchong (PC9).~The technique involves using the thumb pad to apply circular and vertical pressure on each acupoint, with the other four fingers stabilizing against the skin to ensure even pressure. The pressure is gradually increased from light to moderate until the patient experiences sensations of soreness, numbness, or swelling, commonly described as deqi (Ye Meiling et al., 2020).~Each acupoint is pressed vertically for 3 seconds, then rotated clockwise at a rate of 2-3 rotations per second for another 3 second
