Ling, Wai-man, Lui, Liza Y. Y., So, Winnie K. W., Chan, Kuen

The aim of the review is to critically examine the evidence for acupuncture and acupressure in the management of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in adult patients with cancer. The authors suggest that, although the results are inconclusive, acupuncture and acupressure tend to be effective in relieving CRF, with the former producing a greater improvement.
