RATIONALE: Acupressure may help relieve pain in cancer patients undergoing bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. It is not yet known whether magnetic acupressure is more effective than sham acupressure in reducing pain in cancer patients undergoing bone marrow aspiration and biopsy.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying magnetic acupressure to see how well it works compared with sham acupressure in reducing pain in cancer patients undergoing bone marrow aspiration and biopsy.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to the number of prior bone marrow aspirations and biopsies (BMAB) (0-1 vs ≥ 2) and type of procedure (bone marrow aspiration alone vs BMAB). Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms.
Patients in both arms also receive analgesic and anxiolytic medications as determined by the acupressure operator and physician.
Patients complete a questionnaire before and after BMAB to assess pain experienced before and during BMAB and their attitude towards the procedure.
