NCT ID NCT07455409
First seen Mar 18, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This small study tested whether electro-acupuncture (a gentle electric current through needles) could help people with nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. Twenty adults who had finished chemo at least 3 months prior received 10 treatments. The main goal was to see if the treatment was practical and if it reduced pain. Results showed most participants completed the sessions, and pain levels were measured before, shortly after, and 3 months later.
