About The Study: In this pilot trial, acupuncture produced greater reductions in nocturia (waking up 1 or more times to urinate) relative to usual care in survivors of prostate cancer. The nocturia reduction was comparable to other treatments, such as desmopressin, α-blockers, and antimuscarinic medications; however, acupuncture was associated with fewer adverse events. Nocturia affects more than half of survivors of prostate cancer.
