Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* When acupoints are chosen for both sleep and pain, there are additive effects on sleep improvement and pain relief (i.e. no interaction).
* Main effects of acupuncture on sleep improvement and pain relief are anticipated when acupoints are separately targeted for sleep and for pain, respectively.
