Can acupuncture soothe Chemo's nerve pain? small study hints yes

This pilot study tested whether acupuncture could reduce tingling, numbness, and pain in the hands and feet caused by chemotherapy in breast cancer survivors. Fifty-seven women who had completed taxane-based chemotherapy were randomly assigned to receive acupuncture immediately or after a delay. The study measured changes in neuropathy symptoms using a questionnaire. Results may help design larger trials to confirm if acupuncture is a useful supportive therapy.
