First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether pressing tiny seeds on specific ear points (auricular acupressure) plus a steroid drug (dexamethasone) can better prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in people with pancreatic cancer. About 25 participants will receive the treatment before chemo and track their symptoms for five days. The goal is to reduce the need for extra anti-nausea drugs and improve appetite and gut function.
