Acupuncture for Nocturia in Survivors of Prostate Cancer: The NOCTURNAL Randomized Clinical Trial
Mené en Chine, cet essai randomisé évalue l'intérêt de l'acupuncture pour traiter la nycturie chez des patients ayant survécu à un cancer de la prostate
Nocturia, waking up 1 or more times to urinate, affects more than half of survivors of prostate cancer; however, guidelines rate the evidence for nocturia treatments as weak. Randomized placebo-controlled trials demonstrated acupuncture improves urinary function in Chinese populations without cancer, but no studies investigated acupuncture for nocturia in survivors of prostate cancer, to our knowledge. We conducted a pilot randomized clinical trial to evaluate acupuncture relative to usual care for nocturia in prostate cancer survivors.
