NCT ID NCT07481903

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

Summary

This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electrical pulses) can reduce a group of common symptoms—pain, tiredness, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, and memory fogginess—in breast cancer survivors who are on hormone therapy. About 228 women will receive either real or sham acupuncture over 8 weeks. The goal is to see if real acupuncture improves at least two of these symptoms more than the sham treatment.
