Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trial

Acupressure for Fatigue in Ovarian Cancer Survivors

Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if accupressure can help reduce the severity of fatigue experienced by ovarian cancer patients. Acupressure involves applying mild to moderate physical pressure by fingers, hand or a device to specific points on the skin to try to bring about a change in the body's functioning, in this case relief from chronic fatigue.
