Baseline to Week 13. Assessments at baseline, once per week during the two treatment phases of the study, and one month (week 13) after the last acupuncture treatment.

What was measured

Functional Assessment of Cancer Treatment - Gynecologic Oncology Group Neurotoxicity Scale (FACT/GOG-Ntx) Version 4 used to assess efficacy of acupuncture for treatment-induced peripheral neuropathy among multiple myeloma and/or lymphoma patients. Severity of neuropathy measured by FACT-GOG-Ntx total score assessment where 11-item questionnaire 5 point rating scale (0="not at all" and 4=equals "very much"). FACT/GOG-Ntx Total Score ranges from 0 (best possible outcome) to 44 (worst possible outcome).

Analysis population: Participants were excluded from primary outcome if did not complete follow up assessments.
