Summary
This study looks at whether acupuncture, with or without self-acupressure, can reduce hot flashes in 200 women with BRCA gene mutations who have had their ovaries removed. Participants will receive weekly acupuncture for 8 weeks, and some will also practice daily acupressure at home. The goal is to improve quality of life and provide a safe, drug-free option for managing hot flashes.
