Acupuncture Combined With Nausea Medicine for Chemotherapy Patients

This trial is testing whether acupuncture and acupressure, when used together with standard anti-nausea medication, can reduce chemotherapy-induced nausea more effectively than anti-nausea medication alone. About 90 patients who are experiencing nausea during cancer treatment will participate. Half will receive acupuncture and acupressure in addition to their regular anti-nausea medicines, while the other half will receive only the standard anti-nausea medicines.

Chemotherapy-induced nausea is a common and distressing side effect that affects many cancer patients, even when they take anti-nausea medications. Researchers want to see if adding acupuncture to standard treatment might provide better relief and improve quality of life during cancer care.
