Improving Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Children With Leukemia: A Study of Transcutaneous Acupoints Electrical Stimulation and Auricular Acupressure Interventions

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of Transcutaneous Acupoints Electrical Stimulation (TAES) and Auricular Acupressure (AA) on subject CIPN symptoms, sensory function, motor and physical function, psychological, physical symptoms and quality of life outcomes in Children with Leukemia. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does TAES and AA can improve CIPN symptoms, sensory function, motor and physical function, psychological, physical symptoms and quality of life outcomes in children with Leukemia compared with self-management control group? 2. Does TAES yield improvements in CIPN symptoms, sensory function, motor and physical function, psychological, physical symptoms and quality of life outcomes that are comparable to those achieved through AA in children with leukemia? This proposed research is designed to conduct a three-arm RCT comparing TAES, AA to usual care in children with leukemia. Subjects in TAES group will receive 8 weeks TAES on four acupoints. Subjects in AA group will receive 8 weeks on four acupoints. Subjects in self-management control group will receive usual care they will receive from the hospital. These three groups will be provided with a leaflet containing self-help materials for CIPN.
