Acupuncture for Aromatase Inhibitor–Related Joint Pain Among Breast Cancer Patients

Many women undergoing breast cancer treatment with aromatase inhibitors experience significant joint pain—a side effect that can impact their quality of life. Recent research highlights acupuncture as a safe and effective way to ease this discomfort.

In the study, half of the participants reported a meaningful reduction in joint pain after receiving acupuncture.

This gentle, drug-free therapy does not interfere with other medical treatments and is both cost-effective and safe.

By helping women manage pain, acupuncture can support better treatment outcomes and improve overall well-being.
