Summary
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation on acupoints or acupressure on the ear can reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy in children with leukemia. 132 children aged 8-17 will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: electrical stimulation, acupressure, or standard care. The goal is to see if these non-drug treatments improve symptoms, movement, and quality of life.
