AB - This study was a quasi-experimental design aimed at confirming the effects of applying microcurrent patches to specific acupoints(PC6, TE5, LI4, ST36) on wrist pain intensity and grip strength in college students complaining of wrist pain. The study design was a nonequivalent placebo-controlled pretest-posttest design. It was conducted from October 31, 2023, to November 27, 2023, involving students at P College located in City B. A total of 46 participants were included in the study, with 23 in the experimental group and 23 in the control group. Data collected were analyzed using the chi-square test, independent t-test, and paired t-test via the SPSS WIN 23.0 program. The experimental group that applied microcurrent patches for two weeks showed a significant decrease in pain intensity compared to the control group that used a general circular band (t=7.78, p <.001) and a significant increase in grip strength (t=-0.75, p =.038). Therefore, microcurrent patches were found to have a positive effect on pain relief and improvement in muscle strength.
