Abdominal Pain Clinical Trial

Official title:
Pilot Study of Acupuncture to Alleviate the Upper Abdominal Pain of Cancer Patients Treated With Neurolytic Celiac Plexus Block

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture for alleviating the upper abdominal pain of cancer patients

Clinical Trial Description

Neurolytic celiac plexus block (NCPB) is a commonly performed procedure in patients with intractable pain due to malignancies involving the upper and mid abdomen. Recently, acupuncture is used as one of alternative interventions to treat cancer-related pains. This pilot study aims to investigate the effectiveness of pain-relief of acupuncture via comparing acupuncture plus NCPB with NCPB alone. Total 14 cancer patients with NCPB will be randomized into two groups of acupuncture and control. ;
