Meanwhile, the control group, consisting of 40 cases, was administered treatment with acupressure at the Shenshu (BL23), Yin Ling Spring Cave, Taixi and Zusanli (ST36) points. Pain relief and disappearance were observed. The findings of this study indicate that the overall efficacy of the treatment group reached 97.5%, a considerably higher rate than that observed in the control group (80.00%).

This finding underscores the remarkable efficacy of the treatment regimen employed by the treatment group in alleviating clinical symptoms and enhancing the success rate of treatment. It is of considerable importance in advancing the progress of clinical practice in related fields and optimizing treatment regimens.
