Improving Sleep with the Unique and the Newly Developed Acupoint Protocol to Fight Against Cancer Pain| Biomed Grid

This unique and newly developed protocol composed of Yuan-Source and Luo-Connecting acuoints was conducted to the patient at stage IV with urothelial carcinoma. The therapeutic effects of acupuncture show that the patient's pain was quickly reduced from level 9 down to level 4 with the four treatments, enabling him to have the better quality of life with sound sleep. From perspective of the cancer pain management, the pain scale answered by the patient confirmed the pain can be reduced/relieved with the quality of sleep. However, how to get the whole picture of the mechanism of this protocol needs more scientific evidence.
