Needles vs. stress: can acupuncture ease cancer anxiety?

NCT ID NCT06768359

Summary

This study tested whether adding real acupuncture to standard anxiety therapy (medication and counseling) works better than fake acupuncture plus standard therapy for reducing anxiety and improving quality of life in cancer patients. 38 adult cancer patients with moderate to severe anxiety received either real or sham acupuncture daily for 6 days alongside their standard care. Researchers compared changes in anxiety and quality-of-life scores between the two groups.
