Flow diagram and schedule of enrollment, interventions, and assessments. Assessed for eligibility with eligibility criteria during enrollment, the participants will be randomly divided among four arms: the control group is supplied with a pharmaceutical antiemetic, and the other three arms consist of the antiemetic drug and one type of acupuncture (Neiguan (PC6) in one arm or Zhongwan (CV12) in another arm), and the antiemetic drug and both types of acupuncture in the remaining arm. The treatment is scheduled to occur within 30 to 60 min before chemotherapy infusion for 4 days. All assessments will be scheduled from the day before chemotherapy to the fifth day of chemotherapy, with follow-up in the next 15 days, followed by data collection and analysis.
