Acupuncture Treatment for Cancer Pain-Related Symptoms
How Acupuncture Can Help with Cancer Pain: Benefits and the Importance of Visiting Licensed Acupuncturist Dr. Annie Yang of OAHU Acupuncture Clinic in Honolulu, HI.
Cancer treatment often involves a variety of therapies, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, all of which can come with their own set of side effects. One of the most difficult challenges cancer patients face is managing the pain that comes with the disease and its treatments. While traditional medications can help, many people are seeking complementary therapies to enhance their quality of life. One such therapy is acupuncture.
Acupuncture is an ancient practice that involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body to promote healing and pain relief. While it's traditionally been used to treat a wide range of health conditions, it has gained recognition in recent years for its effectiveness in managing cancer-related pain.
How Acupuncture Helps with Cancer Pain
Acupuncture offers numerous benefits for individuals suffering from cancer pain. Here's a closer look at how it works
PAIN RELIEF: Acupuncture activates the body's natural pain-relief by releasing endorphins at specific points, reducing pain perception and enhancing well-being. It can be particularly beneficial for cancer patients whose pain doesn't respond to traditional medications.
REDUCTION OF INFLAMMATION: Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation can cause inflammation and pain. Acupuncture effectively reduces inflammation by improving blood circulation and supporting natural healing, thereby alleviating pain, particularly in joints or tissues affected by cancer treatments.
IMPROVED CIRCULATION: Acupuncture can enhance circulation, aiding tissue healing, pain relief, and discomfort management, especially for cancer patients post-surgery or radiation therapy.
RELIEVING SIDE EFFECTS OF CANCER TREATMENTS: Cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation often cause side effects such as nausea, fatigue, and pain. Acupuncture can help alleviate these, relieving nausea, improving energy, and reducing fatigue in patients.
MANAGING STRESS AND ANXIETY: Cancer treatments are physically and emotionally taxing, with anxiety and stress worsening pain and quality of life. Acupuncture can alleviate anxiety, promote relaxation, reduce pain perception, and enhance mental well-being.
Acupuncture may be a safe and effective treatment option for cancer pain, potentially reducing pain intensity and improving quality of life, especially in combination with other treatments
Studies suggest that acupuncture can effectively reduce pain intensity in cancer patients, with some research indicating it's as effective as or better than standard treatment for certain types of pain. Here's a more detailed evidence look at acupuncture's effectiveness for cancer pain management:
COMPLEMENTARY THERAPY: Acupuncture is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional cancer treatments, helping to manage pain and other symptoms.
NCCN GUIDELINES: The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend acupuncture as part of integrative interventions for cancer pain, especially in vulnerable populations where standard pharmacological interventions may be less tolerated.
TYPES OF ACUPUNCTURE: Different types of acupuncture, including electroacupuncture and auricular acupuncture, have been studied for cancer pain, with some research suggesting that electroacupuncture may provide better pain control than auricular acupuncture.
LONG-TERM EFFECTS: Some studies have shown that the pain-relieving effects of acupuncture can last beyond the treatment sessions, even for several months.
BENEFITS BEYOND PAIN: Acupuncture can also help with other cancer-related symptoms, such as fatigue, anxiety, nausea, and sleep disturbances.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture points are at specific areas along channels or meridians that connect different parts of the body. Qi (pronounced chee, meaning energy) is believed to flow in these channels. With acupuncture, very thin needles are inserted in the skin to promote the flow and balance of qi and relieve symptoms that may arise when qi is blocked.
