Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a mobile application works to improve adherence to acupressure therapy in asthenopia. It will also learn about the efficacy of acupressure as a therapy for asthenopia. The main questions it aims to answer are:
-Does a mobile application have a role to improve therapy compliance and efficacy of self-guided acupressure in asthenopia?
Researchers will compare users of a mobile app to non-users of a mobile app to see if a mobile app works to improve adherence to acupressure therapy in asthenopia
Participants will:
- Do acupressure 2 times every day for 4 weeks
- Filling in the absence link has been after doing acupressure every day
- Fill out the link regarding the condition of asthenopia once per week
Detailed Description
This is a clinical trial study to evaluate the role of a mobile application in therapy compliance and acupressure efficacy in asthenopia sufferers. Participants are 60 males/females aged 18-64 years.
