First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

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.
