Official title

Acupuncture and the Relaxation Response for Homeless Veterans With Substance Abuse

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This one-year pilot study has two specific aims: 1. to determine the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial of acupuncture and the relaxation response for substance abuse among homeless veterans who are in a domiciliary care program, and 2. to collect and analyze pilot data to estimate the effect size for planning a future larger study to fully test the hypothesis of the effectiveness of acupuncture and the RR in reducing cravings for substances (alcohol and drugs), and the corollary effects on quality of life.
