Full Title
Researching the Implementation of Acupuncture for Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain in Diverse Underserved Cancer Survivors (ReIMAGINE)Purpose
Many survivors of cancer develop joint and muscle pain after receiving treatments for their cancer.
Research has shown that acupuncture can help with pain, but prior studies did not include many people from certain backgrounds. Researchers are doing this study to see if acupuncture could also work for people who were not well-represented in previous research.
If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to get acupuncture over 10 weeks or your usual care. You will fill out questionnaires about your symptoms, quality of life, and use of pain treatments. If you are in the usual care group, you can receive 10 vouchers for acupuncture after the study is over.
Who Can Join
To join this study, there are a few conditions. You must:
- Have completed treatment for cancer at least 1 month before starting the study.
- Be experiencing moderate to severe joint or muscle pain for 1 month or more.
- Not have previously received acupuncture for pain in the past 3 months.
Researchers will also ask other questions to see if you are able to join this study.
