Methods: A total of 162 participants who treated with gemcitabine combined with platinum-based drugs (GP chemotherapy) were randomly assigned to three groups: Control (Group A, n=56), Sham TEAS (Group B, n=49), and TEAS (Group C, n=57). The following acupoints were used in this study: Qihai (CV6), Keshu (UB17), and Zusanli (ST36). The Revised Piper Fatigue Scale (RPFS) were used to measure CRF on the day before chemotherapy (P1), days 8 (P2) and 28 (P3) separately. The Differences among three groups were analyzed. 
Results: At the 28th day, the outcomes of the fatigue scores for Group C, Group B and Group A were 2.06±0.90, 2.80±1.34, 3.00±1.29 respectively. There were significantly different among three groups (F=9.784, P},
