Effect of Acupressure on Fatigue in Hemodialysis Patients
Acupressure significantly and independently improved fatigue, depression/anxiety, and sleep quality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis treatment.
The experimental group received acupressure at K1, ST36, and SP6 acupoints. In contrast, the control group received sham acupressure at 1 cun from these three acupoints. Subjects received acupressure thrice per week for 4 weeks, and pressure on each acupoint was applied for 3 min bilaterally.

Relationship between acupuncture and transient receptor potential vanilloid: Current and future directions
Transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channels help to understand the principle of acupuncture stimulation, and acupuncture also provides a potential approach to TRPV-related trials.
The abundant expression and functional participation of TRPV1 and TRPV4 were specific to acupuncture stimulation at acupoints. The enhancement or inhibition of TRPV channels at different anatomical levels will affect the therapeutic effect of acupuncture.
Use of Acupuncture for Adult Health Conditions, 2013 to 2021 – A Systematic Review
Facilitating new studies of adequate rigor that mitigate the limitations of existing studies sufficient to raise the certainty of evidence would be the best way to try and expand the access of acupuncture to the patients most likely to benefit from it.
Studies comparing acupuncture with placebo or sham are probably not the priority for reasons stated in the Limitations section; rather, the priority should be studies comparing acupuncture with other recommended, accepted, or active therapies for the condition.
