详细描述
After written informed consent eligible hospitalized patients will be randomized to one of 3 arms (1:1:1:): control (no touch), sham (light touch), acupressure (2 minutes moderate pressure each at PC6, LI4, and HT7 three times per day). Quality of recovery using the validated Quality of Recovery (QOR) 15 score and other measures of patient satisfaction (nausea score, pain score) will be recorded at baseline and after their 6 study sessions.
