What this trial is about
The study explores whether acupuncture as a supplement to conventional antiemetic medicine is superior in reducing the level of chemotherapy induced nausea compared to conventional anitemetic medicine alone. A total of 90 patients experiencing chemotherapy induced nausea will be allocated 1:1 to either acupuncture and antiemetic medicine or antiemetic medicine alone. The level of nausea and other cancer related symptoms will be assessed at baseline and 8 and 22 days after enrollment
