Common treatments for pain include opioid medications, which have associated side effects and complications. Research has shown that acupuncture is effective for surgical, postoperative and cancer-related pain, nausea, and vomiting. More research is needed on the effectiveness of adding acupuncture to routine care for hospitalized patients. The objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of acupuncture delivered in a "real-world" setting according to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine among hospitalized patients to manage pain and other symptoms. 250 hospitalized participants will be randomized in a 1 to 1 ratio to receive either 1) usual care or 2) usual care with acupuncture offered (125 in each group). The primary outcome measure will be change in daily pain intensity. Data on other symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, anxiety, and depression, as well as functionality and quality of life will be collected in person, on a web-based survey, or via telephone follow-up. The aims of the study are to examine the effectiveness of acupuncture to manage pain and other symptoms among hospitalized patients; to evaluate the impact of acupuncture on patient satisfaction among hospitalized patients; and to estimate costs and cost-effectiveness of acupuncture among a subset of hospitalized patients.\n\nThe investigators hypothesize that compared to hospitalized patients receiving usual care alone, hospitalized patients receiving acupuncture will have:\n\n1. decreased pain severity\n2. higher patient satisfaction'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* English or Spanish speaking\n* Admitted to Mt Zion Hospital for a minimum anticipated length of stay for at least 4 days\n* Aged 18 or older\n* In a ward included in the roll out of the Osher Center's acupuncture program at Mt Zion\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Unstable medical condition (e.g., severe pulmonary disease, myocardial infarction, severe depression, patients in the intensive care unit)\n* Acupuncture contraindication (e.g., sepsis, endocarditis)\n* Inability to consent or complete surveys (e.g., cognitive or communication impairment)"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01988194', 'acronym': 'PRAXIS', 'briefTitle': 'Pragmatic Research eXamining Inpatient Symptoms', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of California, San Francisco'}, 'officialTitle': 'Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial of Adjunct Acupuncture vs Usual Care Among Hospitalized Patients', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '13-11353'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'NO_INTERVENTION', 'label': 'Usual care', 'description': 'Participants will receive usual care in the hospital.'}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Usual care with acupuncture', 'description': 'Participants will receive usual care with acupuncture treatments up to four days per week for the duration of their hospital stay.', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Acupuncture']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Acupuncture', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'Acupuncture treatments will be provided in patient rooms up to four days per week for the duration of their hospital stay.
