| Core Tip |
Seventy-five percent of patients with liver cancer suffer varying degrees of pain. Pain is widely perceived as the fifth vital sign in cancer patients, which seriously affects the quality of their life and threatens their survival. Acupuncture, part of traditional Chinese medicine, involves the application of needles, heat, pressure, and other treatments at specific sites of the body known as acupoints to affect the physical functions of the body. Numerous studies have concluded that acupuncture may be efficacious in relieving cancer-related pain. However, there is still no direct evidence on which method of acupuncture is more effective. The present study aimed to identify the best method of acupuncture for liver cancer-related pain. |
