Acupuncture vs. opioids: new hope for easing cancer treatment pain

NCT ID NCT04459416

Summary

This study is testing whether adding acupuncture to standard pain care can help patients with multiple myeloma or lymphoma use fewer opioid medications during high-dose chemotherapy. Researchers are comparing two groups: one receiving acupuncture plus usual care, and one receiving usual care alone. The goal is to see if acupuncture effectively manages pain and reduces overall symptom burden, potentially offering a safer way to control treatment side effects.
