Researchers at Penn Medicine led a controlled trial and found that electroacupunture helped relieve the symptoms of breast cancer patients such as joint pain, fatigue and depression. Dr. Jun Mao, the corresponding author said the patients felt relief afterward but the amount of time it took varied by each individual. Mao said the electric currents used in electroacupuncture have a positive effect on the endorphins being released in the brain.
