Acupuncture has become a popular therapy to manage adverse effects during cancer treatment in recent years.
Emerging evidence from clinical trials has shown that acupuncture can alleviate symptoms of adverse effects during and post–cancer treatment. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have evaluated acupuncture in the management of adverse effects and reported beneficial impacts on depression, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, chemotherapy-related neutropenia,
and chemotherapy-related hot flushes.
Studies have also demonstrated that acupuncture can reduce fatigue, joint pain and stiffness, and radiation-induced xerostomia and enhance overall well-being.
