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.
