Acupuncture and related therapies such as moxibustion and transcutaneous
electrical nerve stimulation are often used to manage cancer-related symptoms,
but their effectiveness and safety are controversial. We conducted this overview
to summarise the evidence on acupuncture for palliative care of cancer. Our
systematic review synthesised the results from clinical trials of patients with
any type of cancer. The methodological quality of the 23 systematic reviews in
this overview, assessed using the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews
Instrument, was found to be satisfactory. There is evidence for the therapeutic
effects of acupuncture for the management of cancer-related fatigue,
chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and leucopenia in patients with cancer.
There is conflicting evidence regarding the treatment of cancer-related pain, hot
flashes and hiccups, and improving patients' quality of life. The available
evidence is currently insufficient to support or refute the potential of
acupuncture and related therapies in the management of xerostomia, dyspnea and
lymphedema and in the improvement of psychological well-being. No serious adverse
effects were reported in any study. Because acupuncture appears to be relatively
safe, it could be considered as a complementary form of palliative care for
cancer, especially for clinical problems for which conventional care options are
limited.
