Gynecological cancer is cancer that starts in the female reproductive organs. Pain in gynecological cancer can be caused by an underlying malignancy or surgical procedure as well as chronic pain associated with malignancy and sequelae of the therapy given. Gynecological cancer patients often experience moderate to severe pain and use higher levels of opioids than patients diagnosed with other cancers. More than two thirds of patients with advanced cancer experience severe pain and up to half of these patients report that their pain is not well controlled. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of electroacupuncture plus standard therapy on pain intensity (VAS score), changes in analgesic dose, and quality of life (QLQ C-30 EORTC score) in patients with gynecological cancer pain compared to standard therapy alone.
