Electroacupuncture combined with nutritional intervention for gastrointestinal cancer-related sarcopenia: a randomized controlled trial using ultrasonographic indices

Key Points

• Sarcopenia improved in patients receiving electroacupuncture and nutritional intervention, indicating enhanced recovery.
• Measurement using ultrasonographic indices showed significant improvement in muscle mass among the treated group.
• Randomized controlled trial design allows for robust comparison between intervention and control groups.
• Potential benefits highlight the need for integrated treatment approaches in managing cancer-related sarcopenia.
