Acupressure Therapy on Post-stroke Fatigue, Depression, and Sleep Disturbances in Ischemic Stroke Patients

Acupoints include three points in hand: PC6 Neiguan, LI4 Hegu, HT7 Shenmen; two points in leg: SP6 Sanyinjiao \& ST36 Zusanli; and one point in back: DU14 Dazhui will be selected. The nurse will also teach patients and their caregiver how to apply acupressure on these acupoints. Self-administered acupressure application on the above acupoints will be performed and followed in the second week. A rehabilitation program and routine care will be scheduled as usual except for acupressure.
