Abstract
Acupressure is a form of non-pharmacological therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body, called acupoints. Acupressure has been shown to decrease the frequency of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. Nausea and vomiting may begin within minutes to hours of chemotherapy treatment, typically lasts 24-48 hours, but may persist for weeks.
