Phase 3 — Testing in thousands of people, comparing the treatment against what doctors currently use. This is the last big step before approval.
This trial is testing whether electroacupuncture — a procedure where small needles deliver gentle electrical stimulation — works better than a sham version when combined with standard nausea-fighting medications. You'll receive the medication (which includes olanzapine and other proven anti-nausea drugs) along with either real or placebo acupuncture sessions during the first four days of your chemotherapy cycle.
Nausea and vomiting are common and really difficult side effects of strong chemotherapy. Researchers want to see if adding acupuncture to the medications already used to prevent these symptoms might give patients even better relief.

You'll start the study on day 1 of your chemotherapy cycle, when you'll receive the nausea-preventing medication. Then, for four days (days 1–4), you'll come in for daily acupuncture or sham acupuncture sessions lasting about 30 minutes each. Throughout this time and beyond, you'll keep a simple log of any nausea or vomiting you experience and any extra medications you use to manage symptoms.
