Acupuncture and exercise for nerve pain from chemo
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests if electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) combined with exercise can help reduce numbness, tingling, or pain caused by certain chemotherapy drugs. If you have nerve symptoms from taxane or platinum chemo and can walk on your own, this may be a good fit.
