Eksperimentel: Traditional Chinese Medicine Patch
Participants in this arm will receive traditional Chinese medicine patch application at the Shenque (RN8) acupoint once daily for 2 hours, 7 days per week, for 2 consecutive weeks, for a total of 14 sessions.
|
The traditional Chinese medicine patch will be applied at the Shenque (RN8) acupoint once daily for 2 hours, 7 days per week, for 2 consecutive weeks, for a total of 14 sessions.
The patch will be prepared by mixing 5 g of traditional Chinese medicine powder with 7 g of water and applying the mixture to gauze or a patch.
|
|
Sham-komparator: Sham Patch
Participants in this arm will receive a sham patch at the Shenque (RN8) acupoint using the same frequency and duration as the experimental group.
The sham patch will be made with flour and caramel coloring instead of traditional Chinese medicine powder.

|---|---|---|
|
Change in Quality of Life Assessed by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General From Baseline to End of Intervention
Tidsramme: Baseline and approximately 2 weeks
|
Quality of life will be assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General questionnaire.
The change in total score from baseline to the end of the 2-week intervention will be evaluated.
|
Baseline and approximately 2 weeks

|
Change in Heart Rate Variability From Baseline to End of Intervention
Tidsramme: Baseline and approximately 2 weeks
|
Heart rate variability will be measured using a heart rate sensor or wearable device under resting conditions.
Changes in heart rate variability parameters from baseline to the end of the 2-week intervention will be evaluated.
|
Baseline and approximately 2 weeks
|
|
Change in Complete Blood Count Parameters From Baseline to End of Intervention
Tidsramme: Baseline and approximately 2 weeks
|
Complete blood count parameters, including white blood cell count, hemoglobin level, and platelet count, will be measured before and after the intervention.
|
Baseline and approximately 2 weeks

|
Incidence of Skin Reactions at the Patch Application Site
Tidsramme: During the 2-week intervention
|
Skin reactions at the patch application site will be assessed using the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group skin toxicity grading scale.
The intervention will be discontinued if a skin reaction of Grade 2 or higher occurs.
