This survey provides detail regarding IO sites using acupuncture for CIPN as well as real-world treatment patterns, including common point combinations, visit characteristics, and practitioner-reported outcomes. This information contributes to the emerging evidence on the use of acupuncture to address unmet needs of CIPN patients, and supports the development of best practice guidelines for the treatment of CIPN with acupuncture in the IO setting.

Demographics of patients at the CACs were comparable to those of patients seen in other acupuncture clinics. The collaborative structure of the CACs allowed for a unique learning experience and improved communication between providers of CAM and conventional medicine.
