Acupuncture is effective in pain management and scientific research shows that this also applies to oncological pain. The Dutch Pharmacotherapeutic Compass lists numerous possible (serious) side effects associated with (long-term) use of so-called NSAIDs, such as diclofenac, ibuprofen, and naproxen. Compared to these, acupuncture offers a safe, cost-effective, and evidence-based option for treating pain in (former) cancer patients.
