This trial tests adding a simple ear-point stimulation to standard anti-nausea medicine for women receiving chemotherapy after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if this combination works better to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by the chemo drugs docetaxel and cyclophosphamide.
This trial tests whether stimulating specific points on your ear, combined with a steroid medication, can reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy drugs (docetaxel and cyclophosphamide) given after breast cancer surgery. Many patients experience these side effects, and the study wants to see if this non-drug approach helps.
