The subjects in the proposed experiment will be 159 men and women with HIV infection who have a history of chronic nausea for three months or greater and show evidence of two or more episodes of nausea and/or report a duration of 2 hours or greater (per day) in prospective baseline symptom diaries.
Subjects will be randomized to one of three experimental intervention conditions: Condition 1, subjects receive Standard acupuncture; Condition 2, subjects receive Individualized acupuncture based on Traditional Chinese Medical Diagnosis; Condition 3, (Control Group), subjects receive Sham acupuncture.
Subjects in Conditions 1, 2, & 3 will attend 16 scheduled sessions over 24 weeks.
All subjects will: be assessed by a diagnostic acupuncturist (blinded to treatment assignments); be administered the same instruments; and submit their symptom diaries for data entry and analysis.
After a screening/intake session, randomization and treatment sessions will follow.
There will be four weeks of twice weekly treatment sessions, four weekly treatment sessions and three follow-up sessions.
All conditions will be identical in duration and be administered by licensed acupuncturists trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled, blinded (subject and evaluator), parallel groups clinical trial aimed at reducing chronic nausea and improving quality of life in persons with HIV/AIDS.
