Electroacupuncture Therapy in Reducing Chronic Pain in Patients After Breast Cancer Treatment
Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
This randomized phase II trial studies how well electroacupuncture therapy works in reducing chronic pain in patients following surgery for stage I-III breast cancer. Electroacupuncture therapy is a type of complementary integrative medicine in which pulses of weak electrical current are sent through very thin, solid, sterile, stainless steel needles into certain points in the skin. Electroacupuncture therapy may help to lower pain and other surgery-related symptoms.
