What can acupuncture help patients with?
Acupuncture is used to control pain, fatigue, post-operative or chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting . A recent study showed that acupuncture reduced xerostomia (extreme dry mouth) and skeletomuscular pain and dysfunction experienced by head and neck cancer patients, following radiotherapy. Acupuncture also can help relieve neuropathic pain caused by some types of chemotherapy or by nerve damage.
