The available information does not directly explain how acupuncture alleviates lurbinectedin-induced nausea. However, it does provide some context that may help answer the question.

Lurbinectedin is a chemotherapeutic agent used to treat small cell lung cancer, and nausea is a common side effect of this medication [1]. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that has been used to alleviate various symptoms, including nausea [2].

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) published a study that found acupuncture to be effective in reducing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting [2]. Although the study did not specifically mention lurbinectedin, it suggests that acupuncture may have a positive effect on nausea caused by chemotherapy.

The oncnursingnews.com article discusses the benefits of introducing integrative services, such as acupuncture, into oncology care [3]. While this article does not directly address lurbinectedin-induced nausea, it supports the idea of incorporating acupuncture as a complementary therapy to manage symptoms in cancer patients.

In summary, while the available information does not provide a direct explanation of how acupuncture alleviates lurbinectedin-induced nausea, it suggests that acupuncture may be an effective complementary therapy for managing chemotherapy-induced nausea.
