Electroacupuncture for Managing Chemotherapy‐Induced Gastrointestinal Symptom Clusters in Patients With Breast Cancer: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture in alleviating chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal symptom clusters in patients with breast cancer. By integrating multi-omics analyses, we aim to elucidate the biological mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects. The findings may offer a robust clinical foundation for optimizing symptom cluster management in cancer care. <b>Trial Registration:</b> Clinical Trials ID: NCT06952920.
