Electroacupuncture for Cognitive Toxicity in Cancer Survivors: Assessing Implementation, Cost, and Effectiveness for Integration (EAST-ALIGN)
6 maj 2026 uppdaterad av: National Cancer Centre, Singapore
ElectroAcupuncture to Manage Symptoms of Cognitive Toxicity in Cancer Survivors: Assessing impLementation, Cost, and effectIveness for inteGratioN (EAST-ALIGN)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and understand the biological mechanisms of electroacupuncture (EA) in reducing cognitive toxicity among cancer survivors. The study aims are:
- To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a 10-week EA regimen targeting neuropsychiatric-related acupoints in reducing cognitive toxicity among cancer survivors in Singapore.
- To explore the biological mechanisms underlying EA's effects on cognitive function.
- To assess the early implementation of EA for managing cognitive toxicity in cancer survivors.
Researchers will compare results from the true EA arm, sham EA arm and waitlist control arm, to see if electroacupuncture can help improve cognitive issues related to cancer and its treatment, how it may work, and what factors may affect how it is delivered in cancer care.
Participants will:
- Be assigned to either of the 3 arms (true EA, sham EA, waitlist control)
- Received 10 EA sessions (if assigned to true or sham EA arm)
- Complete 3 study assessment visits at baseline, Week 13, and Week 17
- Be invited to a one-time interview to share their study experience (optional, if selected)

Detaljerad beskrivning
Electroacupuncture (EA) is a promising, emerging intervention to manage cognitive toxicity among patients with cancer.
The primary goal of the EAST-ALIGN study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and understand the biological mechanisms of EA in reducing cognitive toxicity among cancer survivors through a randomized, blinded sham and waitlist controlled, clinical trial.
Simultaneously, the investigators will collect implementation data on engaging community Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners to deliver EA.
This approach facilitates the early identification and resolution of implementation barriers, accelerating EA adoption into clinical practice if proven effective.
