简要总结
This study was planned with a randomized controlled experimental design to examine the effects of acupressure and ankle exercises on ankle brachial index in individuals with Type 2 diabetes.
详细描述
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a health problem that affects many lifelong systems and organs throughout the world, increases the risk of premature death, affects the individual, family, society and the world, has a serious spiritual and financial care burden, and has important and vital consequences.
Diabetes can cause damage to nerves as well as small and large vessels. Patients who have had DM for a long time will experience circulatory disorders in the upper and lower extremities.
Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is a non-invasive examination of blood vessels that functions to detect clinical signs and symptoms of ischemia, reduced peripheral perfusion that can lead to angiopathy and diabetic neuropathy.
Studies indicate that foot exercise and acupressure application can be used as an alternative intervention to increase the value of the ankle-brachial index in patients with type 2 diabetes.
When the literature was examined, no comprehensive study could be found comparing the effect of foot exercise and acupressure application on the Ankle Brachial Index in diabetic patients in our country. It is thought that acupressure application and ankle exercises will accelerate peripheral circulation and may be effective on the ankle brachial index.

研究组 & 干预措施
Acupressure Group
In the research, acupressure will be applied to the patients in the acupressure group on LR 3 Taichung(LR 3), Tai Xi (KI 3), San Yin Jiao(SP 6), Xue Hai (SP 10), Zusanli(ST 36 ) points.
干预措施: Acupressure Group (Other)
Sham Acupressure Group
The same process will continue with the acupressure group by applying pressure to different points in the group where acupressure is applied to the sham points.
Pressure will be applied on the bone area where the meridians do not pass, parallel to the points where acupressure is applied to the sham points (approximately 1-1.5 cm away).
干预措施: Sham Acupressure Group (Other)
Foot Ankle Exercise Group
The foot and ankle exercise complex includes the following exercises.
- Pulling the foot towards itself from the ankle up
- Bending the foot downwards from the ankle
- Opening the feet like a fan, moving the toes inward and outward, left and right
- Circling exercise with ankle
- Towel folding exercise
- Bottle rolling exercise under your feet (The water in the bottle will be warm tap water)
干预措施: Foot Ankle Exercise Group (Other)
