New study proves acupuncture can alleviate fatigue and improve quality of life for breast cancer patients

 The 40 per cent of breast cancer patients who suffer from extreme fatigue may benefit from acupuncture according to a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. The three-year British trial showed acupuncture had across the board benefits, alleviating both mental and physical fatigue and improving overall quality of life.

Previously, few treatments were recognised for the up-to-40 per cent of patients needing help for fatigue, devastating their quality of life.
