Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tries acupuncture and self-acupressure to reduce hot flashes in women who carry BRCA mutations and have had their ovaries removed. Acupuncture uses thin needles; self-acupressure is pressing on the same points yourself. It may help reduce hot flashes and improve comfort.
