Study Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies how well electroacupuncture therapy works in reducing chronic pain in patients following surgery for stage I-III breast cancer. Electroacupuncture therapy is a type of complementary integrative medicine in which pulses of weak electrical current are sent through very thin, solid, sterile, stainless steel needles into certain points in the skin. Electroacupuncture therapy may help to lower pain and other surgery-related symptoms.

Primary Outcome

Change in pain scores will be compared between groups. Assessing the initial efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) relative to sham electroacupuncture (SEA) and waitlist control (WLC), use linear regression and linear mixed model analyses. Pain Scores(0-10) 0 No pain-10 Worst Pain.
