  • the efficacy of acupuncture for the prevention and treatment of oral-related complications caused by radiotherapy for head and neck malignant tumors
  • the safety of acupuncture for the prevention and treatment of oral-related complications caused by radiotherapy for head and neck malignant tumors

Participants will:
