Background.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is more prevalent in women, particularly after menopausal age.
Women are more likely to seek complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) approaches.
We examined the feasibility of training self-administered acupressure exercise and assessed its impact on OA symptoms among women with knee OA.
Methods.
Thirty-six eligible postmenopausal women were randomly assigned in the acupressure exercise group (n=15) or the control group (n=21) for 12 weeks.
Feasibility outcomes (e.g., compliance and adverse effects) and clinical outcomes (e.g., pain, stiffness, and physical function) were assessed.
Data were collected at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks.
Both per-protocol and intention-to-treat analysis were employed.
Results.
The training materials were well received.
The feedback from participants suggests that self-administered acupressure exercise is easy to learn and safe to perform at home, although no statistically significant results of the clinical outcome were observed.
Our findings didn’t reveal superiority or inferiority of acupressure compared with usual care.
Conclusion.
Acupressure exercise is feasible to be trained among postmenopausal women with knee osteoarthritis.
Due to the limitations of this study such as small sample size and high attrition rate, acupressure’s efficacy needs to be further explored in larger scale studies with more rigorous design.
