Self-Administered Acupressure for Veterans With Chronic Back Pain

The acupressure intervention is self-administered. The intervention group receives an app that instructs them on how to perform a stimulating acupressure protocol, consisting of six acupoints with four of the acupoints performed on both the left and the right sides of the body for a total of ten points. Each of the ten acupoints is to be stimulated for 3 minutes per point for a total treatment time of 30 minutes daily for 6 weeks.
