Acupressure helps treat fatigue in cancer patients.

There are over 2Million breast cancer survivors today and fatigue is one of the most common symptoms. Affecting over 82% of all cancer patients it is associated with "decreased quality of life, poor sleep, and depression." Acupressure, a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has been shown to decrease fatigue by 70% and improve sleep function in cancer survivors.  It is the only form of nontoxic and inexpensive care for chronic cancer related fatigue.

This study is being completed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
