Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture compared to sham acupuncture in preventing CRCI among breast cancer patients scheduled to undergo chemotherapy.

Participants will be randomized to receive either acupuncture or sham acupuncture treatment. Both treatments will be administered twice a week, starting one week before chemotherapy and continuing throughout the chemotherapy period.
