Acupuncture is commonly used as a complementary therapy to help manage various cancer-related symptoms and side effects, though it does not treat or cure cancer itself.
It can help provide relief from pain, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and neuropathy related to cancer or its treatments.
Research—including randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews—shows that acupuncture can help reduce cancer-related pain, post-surgical pain, chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting, and fatigue.
Acupuncture may also help manage symptoms like hot flashes, constipation, insomnia, and anxiety caused by cancer or treatments.
Several clinical guidelines, such as those from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and ASCO, include acupuncture as an integrative option for symptom management in cancer patients.
Acupuncture is recommended for alleviating several cancer-related symptoms and side effects and may help improve quality of life for people undergoing cancer treatment.
Here is a summary of the latest research studies supporting the use of acupuncture and Chinese medicine in integrative cancer care.
