Acupressure does NOT require a needle. The question then is whether this approach is useful for any purpose. To explore, the following reference (The Efficacy of Acupressure for Symptom Management: A Systematic Review

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3154967/citedby/
----- Use of Acupressure or Acupuncture for Cancer Pain Relief -----
Another good reference points to the prevalence use of acupressure or acupuncture in cancer-related pain treatment:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2642987/citedby/
----- Of particularly exciting interest is the following review from Taiwan (Trends in use of acupuncture among adults in Taiwan from 2002 to 2011: A nationwide population-based study
