The study was conducted at the elderly integrated health post Klodran, Karanganyar, Central Java, in May, 2016. A total sample of 60 elderlies was selected for this study using random sampling technique. This sample was randomized into 4 groups, each consisting of 15 study subjects: (1) acupressure; (2) acupuncture; (3) infrared; (4) acupuncture and infrared. The dependent variable was musculoskeletal pain. The independent variable was type of  pain relief therapy. The data was analyzed by Kruskall Wallis Test, and post-hoc test using Mann-Whitney.Results: Kruskall Wallis Test showed mean differences in the reduction of musculosceletal pain between the four groups, and they were statistically significant, as follows: acupressure (mean= 1.3; SD= 0.5), acupunture (mean= 2.3; SD= 0.5), infrared (mean= 1.6; SD= 0.6), and acupuncture and infrared (mean= 3.9; SD= 0.4). Mann-Whitney test showed the most effective treatment for reducing musculoskeletal pain was acupunture and infrared combination therapy (mean difference= 2.53; p<0.001).Conclusion: Acupunture and infrared combination is the most effective treatment for reducing musculoskeletal pain in the elderly.Keywords: musculoskeletal pain, acupressure, acupuncture, infrared, elderlyCorrespondence: Risna Widowati.

Abstract

Hypertension is the second highest cause of death in Indonesia (25.8%) in outpatients. Acupuncture has been used to treat various diseases including hyperten­sion. The purpose of this study was to determine the acupuncture’s effect of PC6 and LV3 combined with YNSA Ypsilon HT and LV points in cases of essential hypertension (ICD 10: I10) grade I, II. The study was conducted in Ngargorejo, Ngemplak, Boyolali from October 2018 to March 2019 using a design (RCT) or randomized experiment with 33 sub­jects, divided into experimental groups (17 people) and control groups (16 people) with SRS  as a sampling technique. Mann-Whitney obtained p <0.05, which means that there was an acupuncture effect of PC6 and LV3 combined with YNSA Ypsilon HT and LV on blood pressure reduction. The systolic pressure was p <0.05 and the diastolic pressure was p> 0.05 in the control group. While the experimental group's systolic and diastolic pressures were p <0.05. It can conclude that PC6 and LV3 combined with YNSA Ypsilon HT and LV points had more effect on systolic and diastolic pressure reduction than sham acupuncture which only affected systolic pressure reduction with short-term effects.
