Needles vs. fatigue: can ancient practice ease modern cancer treatment?
NCT ID NCT07044414
Summary
This study tested whether real acupuncture is better than fake acupuncture at helping head and neck cancer patients feel less tired and maintain better blood cell counts during combined chemotherapy and radiation. 34 adult patients were randomly assigned to receive either real or sham acupuncture three times a week during their treatment. Researchers measured their fatigue levels, quality of life, and white blood cell counts to see if the real acupuncture made a difference.
