Electroacupuncture for memory and thinking problems in cancer survivors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture using mild electric pulses) can help improve memory and thinking problems that many cancer survivors face. If it works, the goal is to make it part of standard cancer care.
