2026年4月23日 更新者：Mustafa Karaağaç、Hasan Kalyoncu University
The Effect of Acupressure on Pain, Fatigue, Sleep, and Quality of Life in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
There are studies in the literature evaluating the effects of acupressure application in MS patients.
In a study; it was shown that acupressure application reduced pain and fatigue.
In a study; acupressure was found to reduce fatigue and depression scores.
In a study; acupressure was found to improve the patient's physical and cognitive functions and quality of life.
In a study; acupressure was found to have positive effects on reducing fatigue in MS patients.
In a study acupressure application was found to have significant effects in reducing fatigue.
There are no studies evaluating the combined effects of acupressure on fatigue, pain, sleep quality, and quality of life parameters in MS patients.
This study is planned to determine the effects of acupressure on fatigue, pain, sleep quality, and quality of life in MS patients.

主要结果指标

措施说明 |
大体时间 |
|---|---|---|
|
Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)
大体时间：Baseline, at the end of the 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week.
|
The FSS is a 9-item scale used to assess the impact of fatigue on daily activities.
Each item is rated on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 7. The total score is the average of the 9 items.
Scores range from 1 to 7, where higher scores indicate greater fatigue severity (worse outcome).
|
Baseline, at the end of the 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week.

大体时间 |
|---|---|---|
|
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain
大体时间：Baseline, at the end of the 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week.
|
The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is used to measure the intensity of pain.
It consists of a 10-cm horizontal line where 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "unbearable pain."
Participants mark the point that represents their current pain level.
Higher scores represent increased pain intensity (worse outcome).
|
Baseline, at the end of the 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week.
|
|
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
大体时间：Baseline, at the end of the 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week.
|
The PSQI is used to evaluate sleep quality over the past month.
It consists of 19 individual items generating seven component scores.
The total score ranges from 0 to 21.
A higher total score indicates poorer sleep quality (worse outcome).
|
Baseline, at the end of the 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week.
|
|
Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 (MSQOL-54)
大体时间：Baseline, at the end of the 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week.
|
The MSQOL-54 is a multidimensional health-related quality of life measure.
It provides two main summary scores: Physical Health and Mental Health.
Scores for each subscale are transformed to a 0-100 scale.
For these subscales, higher scores indicate a better quality of life (better outcome).

Baseline, at the end of the 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week.
