Oncological pain and acupuncture
It is often claimed that there is no evidence that acupuncture works. But that's not true. Just take a look at the Dutch Knowledge Centre Acupuncture on this website. There we publish step by step more and more available research on the effectiveness of acupuncture.
EBA Summaries
EBA stands for Evidence Based Acupuncture, which means 'acupuncture based on evidence'. Research on the effectiveness of acupuncture is being conducted worldwide. Fortunately, there are knowledgeable people who compile these studies. This makes the information readable and understandable for anyone interested, without requiring a university degree. For that, we are grateful!
Oncological Pain and the Benefits of Acupuncture
Pain is very common among former cancer patients and can be caused by cancer cells invading organs, soft tissues (nerves and blood vessels), or bones. This pain can also arise from medical treatments for cancer, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, and surgery. Compared to (pain) medication, which is associated with side effects and lacks sufficient clinical evidence of effectiveness, acupuncture offers a safe, cost-effective, and evidence-based treatment for oncological pain.
