Summary

This study looks at whether adding electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) to standard immunotherapy can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are too weak for aggressive treatment. About 120 participants will receive either real or sham acupuncture alongside their cancer drugs. The goal is to see if this combination slows cancer growth, improves quality of life, and reduces side effects.
