Palpitasi merupakan sensasi detak jantung yang tidak normal dan sering menimbulkan ketidaknyamanan serta penurunan kualitas hidup. Penatalaksanaan palpitasi umumnya menggunakan terapi farmakologis, namun pada sebagian pasien dapat menimbulkan efek samping dan ketergantungan obat. Akupunktur sebagai terapi komplementer berpotensi menjadi alternatif yang aman dan efektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui manfaat asuhan akupunktur dalam mengurangi keluhan palpitasi pada pasien di Klinik Akupunktur Sutami 58 Bandung. Penelitian menggunakan desain kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus pada satu pasien perempuan berusia 34 tahun yang mengalami palpitasi. Asuhan akupunktur diberikan selama enam minggu dengan total delapan kali terapi menggunakan titik BL15 (Xinshu), BL17 (Geshu), BL23 (Shenshu), PC6 (Neiguan), dan HT7 (Shenmen). Evaluasi dilakukan pada setiap sesi berdasarkan perubahan keluhan subjektif, pemeriksaan nadi, serta kondisi umum pasien. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya penurunan frekuensi dan intensitas palpitasi secara bertahap, ditandai dengan penurunan denyut nadi dari 105 kali/menit menjadi 78 kali/menit pada akhir terapi. Selain itu, pasien melaporkan perbaikan kualitas tidur, penurunan kecemasan, dan peningkatan energi, serta penghentian penggunaan obat medis di bawah pengawasan dokter. Disimpulkan bahwa asuhan akupunktur efektif dalam mengurangi keluhan palpitasi dan dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai terapi komplementer yang aman dan bermanfaat.
