Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the Silver Spike Point (SSP) on functional constipation. The subjects were 14 female students who attended a university located in Gyeonggi province and consent to participate in this study. The inclusion criteria were the fulfillment of two or more diagnostic criteria of Rome III or scoring four or more points in Constipation Assessment Scale (CAS). The CAS score was significantly decreased in the experimental group (from $14.29{\pm}1.38$ to $6.86{\pm}2.91$) (p<.05), however, there was no significant change in the control group (from $14.29{\pm}1.49$ to $14.14{\pm}1.21$). The present study suggests that SSP intervention is effective in mitigating constipation.
