Um ensaio experimental investigou os efeitos da acupuntura e massagem meridiano no aumento do peso corporal em crianças prematuras. Quarenta indivíduos foram randomizados em dois grupos no estudo de Taiwan. Aqueles no grupo experimental foram submetidos a um procedimento padrão da acupressão na Zhongwan REN-12, Zusanli ST-36, Yongquan KID-1, esfregando abdominal, baço e massagem meridiano do estômago, e amassar pontos ao longo do meridiano da bexiga. Tratamentos foi administrado durante 15 minutos por sessão, uma hora antes das refeições, três vezes ao dia durante 10 dias. O grupo controle foram submetidos a cuidados de rotina. O peso dos bebês do corpo eo volume de leite ingerido foram registrados diariamente. O ganho de peso médio diário das crianças do grupo experimental foi 32.7g, comparado com 27,3 g no grupo controle. Embora não houve diferença significativa no ganho de peso observada entre os dois grupos na primeira semana, durante a segunda semana, o ganho de peso observada no grupo experimental foi significativamente maior do que o observado no grupo controle.

ACUPRESSURE INCREASES WEIGHT GAIN IN PREMATURE INFANTS
An experimental trial has investigated the effects of acupressure and meridian massage on increasing body weight in premature infants. Forty subjects were randomised into two groups in the Taiwanese study. Those in the experimental group underwent a standard procedure of acupressure at Zhongwan REN-12, Zusanli ST-36, Yongquan KID-1, abdominal rubbing, spleen and stomach meridian massage, and kneading points along the bladder meridian. Treatments was administered for 15 minutes per session, one hour before meals, three times daily over 10 days. The control group underwent routine care. The infants' body weights and the volume of milk ingested were recorded daily. The daily average weight gain of the infants in the experimental group was 32.7g, compared with 27.3g in the control group. While there was no significant difference in weight gain observed between the two groups in the first week, during the second week, the weight gain observed in the experimental group was significantly higher than that observed in the control group.
