Ongoing research regarding acupressure

Little controlled research has been conducted on acupressure. A large number of the more positive studies have taken place outside the United States, often without a high level of regulation. Many studies are investigating various aspects of acupressure, including the possibility of:

• Relieving side effects of chemotherapy in cancer patients
  
  
• Increasing the effectiveness of certain anti-nausea drugs
  
  
• Reducing disability after a stroke
  
  
• Helping to maintain weight loss
