Summary

MOHS method is an effective surgical technique to remove skin cancerous tumors in the head-neck area. Patients undergoing MOHS surgery are struggled with emotional stress during the day of surgery, due to fear of significant damage to the body's image and anxiety about the need for repeated surgeries. In this study we will examine the effect of integrative medicine (including acupuncture, touch/manual, and breathing/relaxation modalities) on the reduction of anxiety and pain in patients undergoing MOHS surgery.
