Summary
This study tests if a special type of acupuncture (on the tongue area) can reduce taste problems caused by chemotherapy in people with gynecologic cancers. 75 participants will be randomly assigned to real acupuncture, fake acupuncture, or standard dietary advice. The goal is to see if this approach can ease the unpleasant taste changes that often come with cancer treatment.
