- Abstract:
- Introduction: Current guidelines recommend acupuncture as an integrative treatment approach for cancer pain. The efficacy and mechanism of action of acupuncture are increasingly being studied according to Western scientific standards. Dosage is a factor that has not been sufficiently investigated but is important for the accuracy of research results and for socio-economic aspects in the implementation of the multimodal therapy concept. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the analgesic efficacy of acupuncture for cancer pain and the influence of acupuncture dose on pain reduction.
