Can acupuncture and Mind-Body therapy help lymphoma survivors reclaim their lives?
NCT ID NCT05982223
First seen Oct 02, 2026 · Last updated Oct 02, 2026
Summary
Lymphoma survivors often face lasting fatigue, pain, and emotional distress after treatment. Researchers at Bnai Zion Medical Center are studying whether integrative medicine, including acupuncture, mind-body therapy, and touch therapy, can improve quality of life and ease symptoms. Ninety adults in remission from lymphoma can choose complementary treatments or join a control group that fills out questionnaires. The study follows participants for two years to track physical, emotional, and social well-being.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- integrative medicine treatments including acupuncture, mind-body therapy, and touch therapy
- What this could lead to
- If these therapies help, lymphoma survivors could have more options for managing fatigue, pain, and emotional distress after treatment. Integrative care might become a standard part of survivorship programs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small study of 90 people at one medical center, and participants choose their own treatments, which can make results hard to interpret. Complementary therapies may not outperform standard supportive care, and any benefits could be modest or short-lived.
