Zapping nerve pain: can electric acupuncture ease chemo side effects?
NCT ID NCT04917796
Summary
This study is testing if a form of acupuncture that uses a tiny electric current (electroacupuncture) can help reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy. The trial will involve 255 cancer survivors who have finished treatment but still experience moderate to severe pain, numbness, or tingling in their hands and feet. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either real or sham (fake) acupuncture treatments over 8 weeks to see which is more effective at relieving pain.
