What this study is about
This trial is testing if in-person acupuncture or virtual acupressure therapy can help prevent joint pain (arthralgias) caused by aromatase inhibitor medications in Black women with early-stage breast cancer. Aromatase inhibitors are used to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and can cause joint pain, which may lead some women to stop taking the medication.
