Zapping away chemo pain: ancient needles meet modern electricity

NCT ID NCT07455409

Summary

This small, completed pilot study tested whether a 10-session electro-acupuncture program was practical and helpful for people with nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. It involved 20 adults who had persistent tingling or numbness in their hands or feet after cancer treatment. The main goal was to see if most participants could complete the treatment plan, while also checking if it reduced their pain and improved daily life.
