简要总结
This multicenter, randomized, parallel-group clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture combined with adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer who have undergone surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either acupuncture or sham acupuncture during the adjuvant chemotherapy period.
