Summary

This study tests whether press-needle ear acupuncture can reduce nausea and vomiting caused by tuberculosis drugs. About 58 adults with TB who experience these side effects will be randomly assigned to real acupuncture or a placebo. If effective, this low-risk method could help patients stick with their TB treatment and avoid drug resistance.
