Summary
This study looked at whether adding acupuncture and acupressure to oral cryotherapy (sucking on ice chips) can better reduce nerve pain and numbness caused by oxaliplatin chemotherapy in people with gastrointestinal cancers. About 78 participants were split into two groups: one received only ice chips, the other received ice chips plus acupuncture and acupressure. The goal was to see if the combination approach improved symptoms like tingling and pain in the hands and feet.
