Summary
This trial tests whether adding acupuncture at a wrist point called Neiguan to standard anti-nausea medication can reduce nausea and vomiting in people undergoing stem cell transplantation. Participants receive either real acupuncture or standard care alone during their conditioning regimen. The study aims to find a safe, non-drug way to improve comfort during cancer treatment.
