Can acupuncture detect hidden viruses in cervical cancer?
NCT ID NCT07325682
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether a non-invasive electroacupuncture technique can detect signs of persistent viruses, like HPV and SARS-CoV-2, in 30 women with advanced cervical cancer. Researchers will measure electrical responses at specific body points to see if they match viral presence. The goal is to assess if this approach could become a new diagnostic tool for viral-related cancer risks.
