Abstract

More than one-fourth of patients with breast cancer experience insomnia during chemotherapy. Insomnia increases the risks of psychiatric and physical comorbidities and reduces patients’ willingness to complete treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for chemotherapy- associated insomnia in patients with breast cancer.
