简要总结

RATIONALE: Acupuncture may help relieve muscle and bone pain caused by aromatase inhibitor therapy, such as letrozole, exemestane, and anastrozole.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying acupuncture to see how well it works in reducing muscle and bone symptoms in women receiving letrozole, exemestane, or anastrozole for stage 0, stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine if acupuncture can reduce aromatase inhibitor (AI)-associated musculoskeletal symptom severity, in terms of function and pain, in woman with stage 0-III breast cancer.

Secondary

  • To assess if acupuncture decreases oral analgesic use in these patients.
  • To assess if acupuncture decreases the proportion of patients who change or discontinue AI therapy.
  • To assess if acupuncture improves menopausal symptoms, mood (i.e., depression or anxiety), sleep quality and sleep disturbance, and overall quality of life of these patients.
  • To assess if acupuncture changes plasma concentrations of estrogens (i.e., E1, E2, and E1S), cytokine profile, and beta endorphin.

主要结局

Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) score

时间窗: Baseline, Weeks 4, 8 and 12 (or Week 24)

Pain scores on visual analog scale (VAS)

时间窗: Baseline, Weeks 4, 8 and 12 (or Week 24)

次要结局
