Abstract
Chemotherapy Induced Neuropathy (CIN) is experienced by a majority of oncology patients who have had chemotherapy. Unfortunately, there is no treatment for such debilitating effects. Auricular point acupressure is a complimentary therapy that uses stimulation of specific ear points to address pain and this intervention was explored to address CIN.
