This study would like to compare manual acupunture treatment for anxiety in COVID Health workers population in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital using filiform needles and press needle.
This study wanted to know would press needle be having better outcome for anxiety treatment, compared with filiform needles, because press needle taken home and could be manipulated as needed at home, unlike filiform needle where an acupuncturist must be available to do the treatment. Furthermore, the press needle needed to be changed once within 5 days, that is 2-3 times in week. So we hope to have better acupuncture option (in effectivity and timewise) for COVID healthcare workers anxiety treatment. There are no study to compare the usage of the two types of needles for anxiety treatment to date.
