Official title
Acupressure for the Treatment of Pain in Older Adults With Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The primary objective of this project is to determine whether self-administered acupressure is an effective and feasible self-management strategy for older adults with symptomatic KOA. Participants will be randomized to three treatment groups: pain-relief acupressure, sham acupressure, and usual care (UC). The two acupressure groups will be taught to administer pain-relief and sham acupressure, respectively, on themselves 5 days/week for 8 weeks. The usual care group will not be required to change any of their treatment practice. Outcome data will be collected at baseline, and the 4th and 8th week after baseline.
