这项为期两周的研究旨在考察自我穴位干预对日本福冈一所大学54名针灸专业学生(男34人，女20人)的情绪水平的影响。资格标准是能够准确地完成干预，并且没有精神疾病病史。学生被随机分为两组：干预组(n=28)和对照组(n=26)。治疗组每天按压三次，每天三次(早间、正午、晚间)，按压六个穴位(按世界卫生组织西太平洋地区办公室2008年标准，分别为GB12、SI17、LI18)，左侧3个，右侧3个，每个穴位5 S。CG参与者被要求像往常一样度过他们的时间。过去一周的紧张-焦虑、抑郁-沮丧、愤怒-敌意、活力、疲劳和困惑的自我报告水平作为主要结果在研究前后进行测量。副作用没有预测，也没有评估。本试验保留率为100%。情绪的改善，定义为从基线到两周后的变化，在IG组明显更大。我们的结果表明，自我管理干预能够改变大学生的情绪水平。
The aim of this 2-week study was to examine the effects of self-administered acupressure intervention onlevels of mood of 54 students (34 males and 20 females) majoring in acupuncture and moxibustion medicineat a college located in Fukuoka, Japan. Eligibility criteria were the ability to complete the intervention accurately and no history of psychiatric diseases. The students were randomly assigned to one of the two groups: an intervention group (IG, n = 28) and a control group (CG, n = 26). The IG participants completed fiveacupressure sessions three times a day (morning, noon, and night), involving the application of pressure to six acupuncture points (GB12, SI17, and LI18 according to 2008 World Health OrganizationRegional Office in the Western Pacific standard), three on the left and three on the right side of the neck for 5 s each. The CG participants were requested to spend their time as usual. Self-reported levels of tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, anger-hostility, vigor, fatigue, and confusion over the past week were measured before and after the study as the main outcomes. Side effects were not predicted and not assessed. The retention rate of this trial was 100%. Improvements in mood, defined as a change from baseline to 2 weeks later, were significantly greater in IG. Our results showed that self-administered intervention had the ability to alter mood levels in college students.
