Ancient needles meet modern medicine: can acupuncture boost cancer treatment?
NCT ID NCT07239661
Summary
This study is testing whether adding electroacupuncture (a form of acupuncture using mild electrical stimulation) to standard immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitors) helps people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer live longer without their cancer getting worse. It will involve 120 patients who are less active due to their cancer (ECOG score of 2). Half will get real electroacupuncture with their immunotherapy, and half will get a sham (fake) acupuncture treatment to see if the real treatment makes a meaningful difference in controlling the disease and improving well-being.
