Expanding Medicare coverageThe Acupuncture Now Foundation is working to get the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to approve coverage for acupuncture in treating peripheral neuropathy (PN) - a process called a National Coverage Determination (NCD). We submitted a document explaining the research on acupuncture for PN along with copies of 72 research studies. This document offers the most comprehensive review of the research on acupuncture for PN and is available here for anyone interested in doing a deep dive investigating that research.
Chemotherapy PNChemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is often called a "dose limiting" side effect of chemotherapy drugs because the symptoms can get severe enough that the chemotherapy dose needs to be reduced. This link will take you to a recent study detailing how effective acupuncture can be treating CIPN.
