Itsehoito akupainanta masennukseen (SAAFD)

maanantai 21. syyskuuta 2026 päivittänyt: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Itseannostettu akupainanta masennukseen: satunnaistettu kontrolloitu tutkimus

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of self-administered acupressure intervention for alleviating depressive symptoms among people with depression. It is hypothesized that the self-administered acupressure group would have a great improvement in depressive symptoms as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire compared with the mental health education group across the 12-week intervention period.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is the self-administered acupressure intervention more effective for alleviating depression and other related outcomes compared to the mental health education group among depressed individuals?
  • Is the self-administered acupressure intervention acceptable and feasible for depressed individuals to alleviate depression? Participants will be randomized into self-administered acupressure group or mental health education group based on the group allocation with a 1:1 ratio. Participants will attend two weekly 120-min self-administered acupressure training or mental health education, respectively.

Kokeellinen: Self-administered acupressure group

The participants in the self-administered acupressure group will attend an acupressure training course (2 sessions, 2 h each) to learn self-administered acupressure from an acupuncturist in a classroom at the School Nursing, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Each class will be conducted in a small group of 4 to 7 participants to enhance interaction and ensure the quality of teaching. Participants will then practice two times a day for 8 weeks.
Käyttäytyminen: Self-administered acupressure group

Self-administered acupressure treatment group was developed on the basis of previous systematic reviews and clinical studies of acupuncture and acupressure for depression. It has robust theoretical basis of TCM. The acupoints selected are commonly used for depression according to a recent systematic review and recommended by other clinical practice guidelines.
Active Comparator: Mental health education group

The participants in the comparison group will receive mental health education group from a registered nurse with the same frequency as those in the treatment group (2 sessions, 2 h each) in a classroom at the School Nursing, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and will be reminded to follow the mental health practice daily for 8 weeks.
Käyttäytyminen: Mental health education group

Mental health education training group was developed based on the materials regarding depression and mental health from the Centre of Health Protection, Department of Health, the Government of Hong Kong SAR and reviewed by a clinical psychologist.
