Can Acupuncture Help Fight Cancer-Related Fatigue?
People commonly feel exhausted during or after cancer treatment is common, but could acupuncture help restore energy?
A large review of clinical studies found that acupuncture can significantly reduce fatigue in cancer patients.
Across ten high-quality trials involving more than 1,300 patients, acupuncture helped improve energy levels compared to usual care or sham treatments.
The benefits were especially strong for breast cancer patients and for those receiving active cancer treatment.
Most treatment plans included short sessions several times a week over a few weeks, and side effects were rare and mild, such as slight bruising.
Overall, this research suggests acupuncture is a safe and effective option to help manage cancer-related fatigue and improve quality of life.
And remember, the American Acupuncture Council (AAC) offers an unparalleled track record in acupuncture risk management.
