Acupressure and electrical stimulation for nerve pain in kids with leukemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests two non-drug methods—mild electrical stimulation on the skin and acupressure on the ear—to help reduce nerve pain and tingling caused by chemotherapy in children with leukemia.
