First seen Apr 04, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) can ease a cluster of tough symptoms—pain, fatigue, trouble sleeping, anxiety, depression, and brain fog—in breast cancer survivors who are on hormone therapy. About 228 women will get either real or sham acupuncture over 8 weeks. The goal is to see if real acupuncture helps more than the fake version, and if it's safe.
