NCT07292337
This study evaluates whether transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation applied at specific acupuncture points (AcuTENS) can reduce pain and anxiety during transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy for participants suspected of prostate cancer. Many patients experience significant discomfort despite the use of periprostatic nerve block (PPNB). The aim of this study is to determine whether AcuTENS provides additional pain relief or anxiety reduction beyond standard analgesia. The findings may help identify a simple, low-risk adjunct that can improve patient comfort during prostate biopsy. AcuTENS is a non-invasive technique that delivers mild electrical stimulation through the skin, targeting acupuncture points believed to modulate pain perception. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, participants are assigned to receive either active AcuTENS or a placebo TENS device that produces no therapeutic stimulation . All participants with receive routine care, including PPNB, according to institutional protocol. Pain scores, anxiety levels, vital signs, and patient satisfaction are recorded before, during, and after the biopsy.

In response to the symptom needs experienced in advanced cancer, the investigators developed a brief, integrated CBT-ACT symptom management intervention, Finding Our Center Under Stress (FOCUS). Using FOCUS, participants learn skills to self-manage sleep, worry-anxiety, depression, and fatigue and improve their ability to focus on what matters most to them despite these symptoms. Results of the pilot randomized controlled trial with people with advanced cancer demonstrate improved sleep on both self-report and physiologic (i.e., actigraphy) measures, and improvements on worry, depression, and fatigue interference with strong effect sizes ranging from d= 0.59 to 0.98 and sleep effects 12 months post-treatment. The investigators refined the fatigue module with exercise modifications and beta-tested the FOCUS intervention as an mHealth web-based app for acceptability with 10 diverse patients with advanced cancer -100% would recommend for other advanced cancer patients. The overall objective of this proposed randomized effectiveness trial is to evaluate the impact of this telemedicine-mHealth symptom cluster intervention with patients from rural and Appalachian communities (where the PI was raised). Innovative features include a focus on a symptom cluster including anxiety, integrated CBT-ACT intervention, telemedicine-mHealth delivery method, and biobehavioral approach evaluating behavioral and inflammatory mediators.
