Summary

This study tests if electroacupuncture or auricular acupressure (ear pressure) can reduce joint pain caused by hormone therapy in breast cancer survivors. 200 women will be split into three groups: electroacupuncture, ear acupressure, or a waitlist control. The goal is to see if these needle-based therapies offer safe, effective pain relief without extra medication.
