Abstract:
With the increase in the number of clinical studies on acupuncture for cancer-related conditions,there has been some research evidence to support the therapeutic application of acupuncture in some cancer-related conditions.Based on a brief introduction of the existing evidence,this paper presents some problems at this stage,mainly including the low quality of clinical studies,the insufficient assessment of the holistic therapeutic role of acupuncture,and the insufficient application of the results of domestic clinical studies,and further discusses future research directions with regard to these major problems.
