Acupuncture needles take on chemo sickness

NCT ID NCT07201194

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

Summary

This study tests whether adding acupuncture and acupressure to standard anti-nausea medicine can better reduce chemotherapy-induced nausea. About 90 cancer patients with ongoing nausea will be split into two groups: one gets the extra acupuncture, the other gets medicine alone. Their nausea levels will be tracked over 22 days to see if the holistic approach makes a difference.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to ease nausea during chemotherapy, improving quality of life for cancer patients.
