Why the study?
Does acupressure at the Extra 1 point reduce EEG spectral entropy and alter the LF/HF ratio of HRV in volunteers?
Does acupressure at the Extra 1 point reduce EEG spectral entropy and alter the LF/HF ratio of HRV in volunteers?
Acupressure at the Extra 1 point induces sedation as measured by EEG spectral entropy and alters sympatho-parasympathetic balance in a sex-specific manner.

Suggests Extra 1 acupressure for nonpharmacologic sedation; extends sex-specific sympathovagal modulation to HRV in this RCT.
