Methods: Subjects( 11 adult women) were tested twice on different days, once after acupressure and once after bed rest alone. Outcomes were measured by evaluating objective indices (blood pressure, pulse rate, and skin surface temperature, deep temperature, and blood flow volume in the feet) and subjective indices (comfort and warmth or cold sensations in the feet), and the temporal changes after intervention were analyzed. Results: There were significant temporal changes in pulse rate, skin surface and deep skin temperatures, blood flow volume, and scores of foot comfort and warmth after acupressure, whereas there were no significant differences after bed rest alone. There were no significant changes in blood pressure after either treatment. Conclusion: Acupressure at these two points is a safe and effective method to warm up the feet., 弘前医学. 67, 2016, p.69-76}, pages = {69--76}, title = {Physiological and Subjective Effects of the Feet Acupressure in Adult Women}, volume = {67}, year = {2016} }
