简要总结
The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects (good and bad) acupressure applied to the outside of the ear (Auricular Acupressure), in addition to the standard of care medication regimen, will have on pain. This study is being done to assess whether acupressure in addition to prescribed pain medication may be of benefit in decreasing pain levels and improving overall wellbeing. This study will also evaluate the feasibility of routinely offering acupressure to patients having pain issues in addition to a psychiatric diagnosis.
详细描述
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of Emergency Department nurse-initiated battlefield auricular acupressure as an adjunct to medication for pain management for psychiatric Emergency Department Observation patients.
