This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing acupuncture as a way to help men with prostate cancer manage hot flashes — a common and frustrating side effect of hormone therapy. Researchers will compare real acupuncture treatment to sham (fake) acupuncture to see if the real treatment actually works better at reducing how often and how severely hot flashes occur.
Many men on hormone therapy for prostate cancer experience bothersome hot flashes that disrupt sleep, mood, and daily life. While some medications can help, they don't work for everyone and can cause their own side effects. This trial is exploring acupuncture as a non-medication option that might be safer and more effective for some patients.

You will receive acupuncture treatment twice a week for 6 weeks, then take a 4-week break. After that, you'll switch to the other type of acupuncture (either real or sham, depending on which you received first) for another 6 weeks. Throughout the study, you'll keep a daily diary recording how many hot flashes you have and how severe they are, and you'll complete questionnaires about how hot flashes affect your sleep, mood, and activities. The study includes follow-up check-ins after treatment ends to see how long any improvement lasts.
