description
The trial was not successful at recruiting a large sample of ethnically/racially underserved participants. In addition, the majority of the patients were also men, but participation of women reflected the incidence of head and neck (HN) cancer in men and women. Most of the patients only received 4 weeks of acupuncture and no maintenance treatments were provided. Future research should examine if the effects can be enhanced with further treatments.
